TAMPA, Fla. – Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is celebrating the arrival of a rare animal—a baby echidna.

The baby animal, also known as a puggle, is the Australian relative of the platypus, and Busch Gardens is one of the few places in the U.S. where visitors can see one.

Echidnas have an “unusual” reproduction process as they are one of the few egg-laying mammals. A mother echidna will lay a leathery egg and roll into her pouch. About 10 days later, the puggle will hatch and start nursing from the milk glands in the mother’s pouch.

Busch Gardens’ animal care team named the new addition Sydney, and when it hatched, it was only the size of a jelly bean. Now, at seven months old, Sydney weighs about two pounds.

Sydney, along with mom Adelaide, can be seen at the park’s echidna habitat at Animal Connections.
