The monotreme echidna is older than this echidna, obviously, seeing as KC's only been doing this since about 2006 or so rather than, you know, 1788.

That said, this Echidna is named after Greece's mythological Echidna, who probably would have shown up in mythology somewhere between 750 and 146-ish BC.
