I have only ever heard them refered to as Australian water rats. In my experince "beaver rat" refers to nutria.

That is a first for me, i have only heard of coypu, being referred to as nutria.
 
Do the brush turkets have any oppurtunity to build their amazing nest mounds? It would make a fantastic aducational peace. :)

didn't see any of the bush turkeys running about but you can see them building the huge mounds in a small room in the 'australis' exhibit.

Indeed! Unless anyone is unusually polydactylous that statement has been rather overtaken by events! :D

(they're still not exactly common, though!)
