BBC article on the same news:
"Of the four echidna species three have long beaks, with the Attenborough echidna, and the western echidna considered critically endangered."
We need references stay!
"Of the four echidna species three have long beaks, with the Attenborough echidna, and the western echidna considered critically endangered."
We need references stay!
Though I did note that TFA used the misleading (or simply wrong) phrase:
"A different echidna species is found throughout Australia and lowland New Guinea."
