Kuril?[edit]

"...a kuril, the local native water rat, which gives Kurilpa Point its name..."[1]

Is this the same beastie? Snori (talk) 07:47, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Probably. The only other Australian animal that could be remotely described as a "water rat" is Xeromys myoides, and it is smaller (and therefore more likely to be called a "mouse"), and rare. Ucucha (talk) 00:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
