Attenborough's scientific name is Zaglossus attenboroughi, after David Attenborough. Like to dig holes, harm crops, harmful to agriculture, so it is a pest. But that's just from a human point of view, from a biological chain point of view, where moles play an important role. The hair is brown, fine and soft, and has luster, and has certain use value.
Attenborough's long-beaked Echidna feeds mainly on insects, but also on earthworms, slugs, amphibians, reptiles, and small birds.
The original description of Attenborough's long-beaked Echidna was based on a damaged specimen collected during the Dutch colonial era, and no new discoveries appear to have been made since. Due to human discoveries affecting forest habitats, it has been suggested that they are endangered or have disappeared locally. However, because biological research in Papua is incomplete, it is possible that they still live in the local mountains. Nests and traces of Attenborough's long-beaked Echidna were reported in 2007, and local people reported seeing them in 2005.
