    https://phys.org/news/2023-11-bizarre-egg-laying-mammal-rediscovered-years.html

    More than 60 years after it was last recorded, an expedition team has rediscovered an iconic, egg-laying mammal in one of the most unexplored regions of the world. Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, named after famed broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, was captured for the first time in photos and video footage using remote trail cameras set up in the Cyclops Mountains of Indonesia's Papua Province.

        What's the plural of "echidna?"

        Echidnas?

        Echidnae?

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Echidnas?

          Echidnae?

          There is only 1.

              Every time I hear or read of echidnas, this tune becomes a looping ear worm:
