This one-of-a-kind mammal, known as Attenborough s long-beaked echidna and named for Sir David, has the quills of a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater and the feet of a mole!
Attenborough's long-beaked echidna has been feared extinct for over 60 years, but researchers just provided video evidence that this bizarre egg-laying mammal is still alive in Indonesia's Cyclops Mountains, known to locals as Dafonsoro or Dobonsolo.
Six decades ago, science got lucky to find a strange mammal. Now, the same mammal has been rediscovered again by a team. Here's all you need to know about the interesting expedition.
