Puggle preview in 3, 2, 1.... When baby echidnas, also known as puggles, hatch (yes, hatch) they are smaller than a jelly bean. These pink little pouch potatoes spend the first 53 days of their life in mom's belly pocket gripping onto specialized hairs with their tiny claws. Unlike most mammals, echidnas secrete milk through special glands in their pouch that the puggle laps up until they are big enough to venture out on their own. #pugglepreview #monotrememagic #echidna #sdzsafaripark | San Die
