Species
All Echymipera species are native to New Guinea. The common echymipera and long-nosed echymipera are also found on neighboring islands.
- Clara's echymipera (Echymipera clara)
- David's echymipera (Echymipera davidi)
- common echymipera (Echymipera kalubu)
- long-nosed echymipera (Echymipera rufescens)
- Menzies' echymipera (Echymipera echinista)
gollark: For conservation of energy, we just produce as many as possible.
gollark: - Charge conservation: we produce muons and antimuons (both are considered muons)- Conservation of muon-lepton number: muon neutrinos are also emitted in large quantities, but these are weakly interacting- Conservation of baryon number: trickier, we mostly just e-mail excess baryon number to our baryon dumps
gollark: We have to obey conservation laws just like everyone else.
gollark: Multiple muons.
