I brought this monotreme to Malaysia, where there are precious few caches for him to visit. Bukit Jalil Recreation Park is close the the venue for the 1998 Commonwealth Games. It is a lovely park with manicured lawns, lakes, fountains, walking and jogging tracks, and of course, a geocache. However, the opening of the cache was too small to allow him in, so off he goes back to Australia.

I found this fury little fella in the western suburbs of Melbourne. I'm flying to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, so I'll take him for a trip to a warmer climate. However, I probably won't leave him there, because TBs tend to stagnate in SE Asia. Stay tuned for pictures of his adventures in Malaysia.
