The Puggle is not a scientifically recognized animal but rather a popular hybrid dog breed created by crossing a Pug and a Beagle. Known for their friendly and playful nature, Puggles often inherit the compact size and wrinkled features of Pugs, along with the curiosity and energetic personality of Beagles.

The term 'Puggle' does not refer to a specific animal species in scientific classification. Instead, it is commonly used to refer to the young of the echidna or platypus. Both these species are native to Australia and New Guinea.

For echidnas, the habitat includes a variety of environments such as forests, woodlands, and grasslands across Australia and parts of New Guinea. They are adaptable to different climates but prefer areas with plenty of ground cover where they can forage for ants and termites. Platypuses are typically found in freshwater habitats like rivers, streams, and lakes across eastern Australia, including Tasmania. They require environments with clean water and abundant aquatic invertebrates.

Echidnas are terrestrial and primarily insectivorous, using their long, sticky tongues to feed on ants and termites. They play a role in controlling insect populations and aerating soil through their digging activities. Platypuses are semi-aquatic and are excellent swimmers, using their sensitive bills to detect prey underwater. They help maintain aquatic ecosystem health by preying on aquatic invertebrates.
