This Australian egg-laying mammal hunts for ants and termites using its sense of smell and also electroreception, which detects the electromagnetic signals emitted by all living things. This sense is more common in aquatic animals, including sharks, because water is a better conductor than air, and the only other egg-laying mammal living today, the platypus, is also the only other terrestrial vertebrate capable of electroreception.
