Curious Echidna Takes Liking to Man Filming in Snowy Mountains, Australia

An inquisitive echidna was attracted to a snowboarder who was filming in the Snowy Mountains, New South Wales, on September 12.

Nathan Louis was building a snowboarding jump on a slope in Kosciuszko National Park, when the curious echidna appeared next to him and took a liking to his camera.

“I had to sit very still to get the video”, Louis told Storyful. The echidna can be seen staring into the camera lense before climbing over a branch to get a closer look.

“Such a curious little fella ! He knew I was there and wanted to say, ‘Hey’. It made my day,” Louis said.

“I feel like this little guy was posing a bit for the camera”.

The spiny creature soon decided the spotlight was no longer its calling and exited back into the bush again. Credit: Nathan Louis via Storyful
