First Rakali Sighting

Saw a Rakali for the first time tonight. It scurried across the road at about 12:30am as I was on my way home from work. I've never seen one before and was super excited about the fact that it could be one. It was a very large rodent with a long head, small ears, and a distinct white tail tip. Looking at mammals in my area I really can't mistake it for anything else. I'm so bummed I couldn't pull over and get a picture but was very cool to see one. On both sides of the road is wetlands so I'd say it was travelling from one side to the other. Looked to be a healthy, active adult. Would love to see it again one night.
