Although it's now officially autumn, it's still very hot Down Under and everyone needs a big, refreshing drink and a lie down once in awhile.

Even the very cute Pugsley the echidna at Sydney's Taronga Zoo needs a breather, guzzling down water as the sun bears down. Echidnas only occasionally drink water, according to the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland, mostly feasting on a diet of ants and termites.

Once that's all done, Pugsley is off to have a nap as one does after a refreshment. Is it weird to be jealous of an echidna?
