1. Think I’m right, must be one of the famous structures…
2. What is an echindna?
3. Hmmm….guessing
4. Oooo….I know this one!
5. Absolutely no idea.  If I was in Vysehrad castle I would definitely be lost
6. I know this one as well…..on a roll
7. And this one….OMG!
8. Now crashing back to earth and guessing again.

@Spenny 

This is an Australian Echidna 😂 😉

[Spenny]

@Cleoriff Oh, a hedgehog with a snout.  Don't remember seeing one before.  I think I need to go watch more David Attenborough 'our world' programmes.  

Does look cute apart from the spiky back.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff @Spenny @MI5 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done each of you on your awards.

@Spenny 

You have climbed from one star in first WRQ you entered, to three stars in your second WRQ, and now to Red Thinker - so onwards and upwards to Bronze Thinker in Monday`s WRQ ???

To be fair, I'd forgotten how much it was like a hedgehog. It was the snout I remembered, so a guess as to the insects it ate. 😂 Well done on your Thinker x

[pgn]

Thinkers all-round, well done, gang!

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - I was amazed to find a Gold Thinker "cubist" gif, too!

[pgn]

The echidna, or "spiny a theater" - a young echidna is called a puggle!

See a life-sized animal! Search 'Echidna' on Google and tap 'View in 3D'.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for the quiz and pleased to see everyone (including myself 😆) with a thinker, well done everybody!

I only knew what an echidna was because I've played too much Sonic The Hedgehog games on my Sega Mega Drive during my childhood, and one of the characters is an echidna 😎

@Mi-Amigo 

🤣🤣I don't want you to have to reduce the difficulty of questions just for me 😂

[Cleoriff]

I used to play Sonic @Spenny but I can't remember Knuckles? Mind you, mine was the very first Sonic game. 😂
