The echidna's terrifying panic button
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Instead of attempting to outrun a hungry dingo, this heavily spiked mammal turns itself into an aggressive drill. Using purely outward-facing claws, they sink perfectly vertically into the loose dirt until absolutely nothing is exposed except a dome of painful, unforgiving spikes. It is a highly effective panic button that completely ruins any predator's lunch plans.
