Is that photo REALLY an Aussie Bush Rat? The ears are wrong. http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/infosheets/bush-rat/ Foofbun (talk) 07:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I wonder about that too. The coloration looks pretty good, but the ears seem too large. It's not supposed to climb either, I think. Ucucha 07:38, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * A late reply. The picture does show a bush rat. I have been just 2m next to it when the picture was taken. It was in a forest close to the road to Bemm River, Victoria, where bush rats are abundant. This specific rat was climbing just because we released it at a place where the rat chose this way to escape. Btw, bush rats are regularly climbing and known to pollinate banksia trees. Also, we did some spool-and-line tracking with bush rats and followed several rats on trees and shrubs. I am sure that this is a bush rat but I would be interested in what you propose as an alternative.

Holmsglen?
"Studies have been conducted by Holmsglen students in areas of Anglesea to calculate the impact fox baiting has on the population of the bush rat."

This adds nothing to the article so i deleted it. sorry to those who participated in the 'study' but if we started putting every school project on its associated species page, wikipedia articles would baloon out into irrelevance.

Found one
I found a baby bush rat in my backyard with no parents 58.6.237.251 (talk) 07:00, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
