Sighting and photos (c) nimmityt.
Field Notes - Snout to vent length approx 10cm

?

Dead on track, probably Black Rat. Plantation at Portarlington Water Treatment Plant (restricted access).

Guessing from teeth.

Green poo pellets also sighted (so as to distinguish from bush rat) - extensive tunnelling around house and garden unfortunately seems to be nesting (possibly also feeding) in the agapanthas.

This was in temperate rainforest if that makes a difference…

Found amongst small scattered skeleton, longest bone about 1 inch

Short tail
Unfortunately found deceased

Sadly this little one was deceased. Possibley pre-dated by a cat. 2nd one within 2 weeks

Within fox poop
