Echidnas are cerita lucah bini cina hebat diranjangusually pretty spiky. They aren't the type of animal you'd normally want to pet.
But you'd have a hard time resisting with these three newly-born echidna puggles, which hatched at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia back in August. Born to mothers Ganyi, Spike and Pitpa, it's the first birth of echidnas at the zoo in 29 years.

These guys have only just opened their eyes and are starting to develop their famous spines. The trio of puggles are currently housed in nursery burrows at the zoo's breeding facility, where their mothers return to feed them every 3 to 6 days.

Look how adorably dopey they are. Squee!
