Have you ever seen this behaviour? It's breeding season for echidnas, meaning if you're lucky you might spot these usually solitary critters in a "love train". During the mating season, male echidnas will line up behind a female and follow her around — she may have several males following her for up to 50 days! Eventually, the males will have a wrestling match and the winner will mate with the female. How's that for a love story? 🤔 📹: Nikki Redman | #ABCMyVideo | ABC Australia

Look out! Echidna love train coming through! ❤️🚂 Mating season is well underway and the males are already putting in the hard work over at Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary. 🦔🦔🦔 Echidna courtship is a story of determination and commitment. Unlike other animals, which use pretty colours or dances to attract their mates, male echidnas form an orderly line behind a female echidna in hope to be the last one standing. Did you know that these trains can get to 10 echidnas long? 🔗 We explain the s

Echidnas breed from mid-Winter to early Spring, depending on the area. A unique characteristic displayed by echidnas during the breeding season is the formation of 'trains', however, this train is looking more like a cluster... but don't worry! They'll figure themselves out. Thank you Ecopia Retreat for this special footage. | WIRES

Have you ever seen an echidna train? 🤔 This amazing and rare footage of an echidna train was taken on Kangaroo Island by Maren ❤️ “What is an echinda train, you may ask... it's a unique mating ritual, sometimes lasting up to 6 weeks, where a single female echidna is followed by a number of males looking to mate with her.” “Over time, the train becomes shorter, and eventually the last remaining male is accepted as a breeding partner.” 🎥: Maren Norris via Exceptional Kangaroo Island #abcmyvideo
