Water Rat (Hydromys chrysogaster) Family; Muridae.
Published September 1, 2010 | 
This secretive and rarely seen large rodent had met it’s end by raptor attack (probably Owl) in the riparian zone along Sportsman Creek. They hunt invertebrates, molluscs and frogs at night using partially webbed-hind feet and water proof fur. Once commercially hunted for their fur, Water Rat are widely dispersed through Australia and are usually a good indicator for water quality and invertebrate numbers. Water Rat should not be confused with Bush or Black Rat and live completely different lives.
