Echidnas (also known as puggles) are a species of spiny anteater that are notoriously difficult to breed in captivity. In the wild, they are shy and elusive, making it difficult to observe their reproductive habits -- possibly because they're actually, definitely, the magical breed known as Nifflers and they do what they want.

The baby "puggles" are the first batch to grace the zoo in almost 30 years, and actually hatched from their eggs back in August. However, the zoo waited until the little critters had developed before making the announcement public.
