Quick read
- Hobart resident Zach was on a trip around the west coast of Tasmania when he spotted a white animal on the side of the road, which turned out to be an echidna.
- A zoologist says echidnas with this colouring in the wild are rare, with exact numbers unclear.
- Experts say it could be an albino, or that its colouring may be caused by a genetic condition called leucism.
