Yes, i read about her, she was famous.
She was a giant african rat, not like my pets who where norwegians. Pissed all over my mattress. At first i had no idea they do that, marking the territory.

And they smell great, like a mix of rosmarin & lavender.

Plenty of rats in tropical Australia. My little cat is a great ratter. She has caught 24 in the last year. Most ended up under my bed. I found a small tail and a pair of feet on the bedroom floor one morning. Odd because there are no mice here. The next night I rescued a mouse in the bedroom and put him in a shoe box, expecting him to die.
The next morning he was fine but he was not a mouse. Well, not a European mouse. He was a native water mouse, a Yirraku. Quite a rare species, his mate had been eaten the night before. That evening my Khmer kid and I took him down to the creek about 500 metres away and released him on the bank amongst the mangroves. Always aware that there might be a big crocodile living there. He ran down the bank and jumped into the water and swam away. It was great to save some native wildlife.
