What is an animal with a long tongue that eats termites?

Echidnas also known as spiny anteaters, belong to the family Tachyglossidae in the monotreme order of egg-laying mammals. There are two extant species, which, together with the platypus, are the only surviving members of that order and are the only extant mammals that lay eggs.

Although the echidnas' diet consists largely of termites, they are not related to the true anteaters of the Americas. They live in New Guinea and Australia.
