In 2018, 300 new words were added to the dictionary, including emoji, bestie, bitcoin, puggle, and yowza.

The puggle, the tenth born at the Sydney zoo, doesn’t have a name yet as its gender has not been identified, the zoo said.

“The little puggle is still quite shy and is spending most of its time learning natural echidna behaviours like digging and foraging,” the zoo’s spokeswoman said.

After recovering from scratches and peck marks, the puggle - grey, sharp-nosed and easily held in the palm of one hand - has put on weight and started to develop fur, Male said.

“While the puggle is improving every day, it is still very young and in the wild would still be dependent on mum, so will require ongoing care for the next few months,” she said in an emailed statement.
