Rakali in paradise! 🐭 Rodents come in many shapes and sizes and live in a range of environments. This rodent, the Rakali or Water-rat (Hydromys chrysogaster), is particularly unique and lives in rivers, lakes and estuaries and feeds on aquatic insects, fish, crustaceans, mussels, snails, frogs, birds' eggs and water birds. 🏞️🐟 The clips show the rakali catching a small brown trout and clipping off fern fronds for nesting material in its burrow in the river bank.

🏆 ABC Australia's ‘most underrated animal’ has been crowned – and it’s a Canberran! Congratulations to the Rakali—our native water rat—who took out a whopping 20% of the 65,000 votes. 🐀 And we’re not surprised: Rakali are truly remarkable rodents. ❤️ Along with Platypus, Rakali are Australia’s only amphibious mammals.

Sadly they are often mistaken as pests, despite their protected status and important ecological role - including the ability to eat toxic cane toads.
