Stopping at the Taronga Park Zoo for a photo op with local wildlife, Harry struggled to get a safe grip on this echidna.
This long-beaked echidna, a primitive egg-laying mammal, was one of two found on the expedition that were so unafraid that they allowed scientists pick them up and take them back .
He has been knighted and fted, of course (and honored by having a wondrously weird New Guinea spiky anteater named Attenborough's long-beaked echidna).
