Critically Endangered Puggle Receives 24-Hour Care

Milly is a puggle, or as veterinarians would say, an echidna. Animal experts at Taronga Wildlife Hospital in Australia believe Milly is an orphan because she was found around 35 days old without a mother nearby. As with a new baby of any species, keepers have taken care of Milly around the clock. Zookeepers plan to release Milly into the wild at around 1 year old. Due to overhunting and the loss of their natural habitats, echidna are considered critically endangered.
