Short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), searching for food in aftermath of bushfire. Echidnas have adapted to life in burrows: they can dig a metre down: apart form being able to tolerate very high levels of carbon dioxide, they can survive with low oxygen if their burrow is surrounded by fire.
