Ah, thanks - I hadn't gone reading other news sites about this article, and had assumed GP was referring TFA, but couldn't see anything that might have inspired that comment. 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."
