Most Aussies don’t even know this legend exists. This is a rakali, Australia’s native water rat found along rivers, wetlands, and coastlines across the country. They’re strong swimmers, clever hunters, and one of the few mammals that can thrive in both fresh and saltwater. Sadly, they’re often mistaken for pest rats and killed — even though they’re a protected native species and a sign of healthy waterways. Small body. Big personality. Pure Aussie bush magic 🌿 Follow Bush Legend for more wildli

Trail cam captures native rakali attacking cane toad with newly learned skills

Check out this Rakali enjoying the Bendigo Creek 😊 Rakali (also known as Water Rats) are the largest native rodents in Australia but not to worry, they behave more like an otter than a rat! Fun fact! They will often carry their food to a flat area of land outside the water to prepare their meal, similar to how we use a dinner plate. This area is called a midden. If you're trying to spot a Rakali on your next walk along the Bendigo Creek Trail, keep an eye out for the white tip on their tail. Ea
