pretty much, yes. They are very cool critters, and much bigger than you might assume too. They feed on fish, aquatic invertebrates, etc. I watched them hunting starfish at St. Kilda in Melbourne last year. They left the remains on particular rocks, looking like piles of splayed orange peels.

I'd say probably close to 30cm (I think that's a little bit more than a foot) and wikipedia agrees but they call it a rakali. That's a name, along with beaver rat, that I've never heard.
