Quick question which I don't have the knowledge to correct; this article says the species is very rare, not seen for many years, and that it is widespread, 'commonest in the mountains' ; this is a bit confusing 78.148.57.143 ( talk) 04:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Is this species named after Sir David Attenborough? If so, it should be noted. Parmesan 18:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
I have seen it referred to as "Attenborough's Long-beaked Echidna", rather than "Sir David's Long-beaked Echidna". Which is correct? 90.192.7.72 13:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
It's not clear which, if any, species they are describing in the June 2010 issue

This species' existence is only known from a specimen from 1961. I'm not sure which species the page image is, but it doesn't match the specimen image further down. 207.228.178.54 ( talk) 14:21, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Sir David's long-beaked echidna →
Zaglossus attenboroughi – All of the supposed "common names" listed in the lead are not widely used. The titular Sir David's has only been used 3 times
[1]. "Attenborough's long-beaked echidna" has more uses, but has only been used 7 times.
[2], and the cyclops one has only been used twice
[3]. In cases where there is no clear common name, the species name should be preferred.
