Walking the dog this evening, and no platypus sightings *sigh*
BUT: four wombats! FOUR!!! And a rakali!
(Photos are of two teenage wombats and one adult female; the adult male was spotted cos he ran away through the shrubs while I was recording a frog going off for FrogID)

Question for artists: if I wanted to get a custom art stencil done for a friend to put on his camping gear (stuff sacks, blanket, sleeping bag cover, etc) how would I go about that? I assume find someone who does similar style of art and ask if I can purchase their design to use for the stencil?

I can smell it from here :) gosh I love Otter exhibits at zoos. We don't have native ones, but we do have platypus and rakali, so we don't totally miss out

Also, a range of native predators (birds, water rats/rakali, etc) could still access nests protected by islands and fences, but their total predation impacts was nowhere close to what foxes achieve.

Like many other admirers we were chuffed when the #rakali was named the most underrated Australian animal last month. Of course, we rate it! This illustration by Harriet Scott & Helena Forde (aka the Scott sisters) from Krefft’s “The Mammals of Australia”.

The rakali hasn't been home in a while. I'm worried. Has anyone been watching the Collins Street peregrine falcon webcam?

Rakali is gonna need some more stuff, a keyring of the MCG or token from Luna Park or even a train whistle from Puffing Billy.

Whether it's hunting invasive pests or rolling in a river like an otter, there's a lot to love about the rakali. And a lot of Australians love it.

Congrats to the rakali for being awarded Australia's most under-rated animal in National Science Week! The rakali got a brief shout-out in a recent T&G episode. 😍

Snapped this little Rakali as it swam towards a rocky headland near Verona Sands Tasmania.
