"Rakali" is favored by some environmental agencies in Australia as well, as it is based on one of the animal's indigenous names. Glad you enjoyed seeing them, too.<br /><br />The rakalis and boky-bokies were likely the highlights of my trip, considering I'd never seen either before. (But don't tell any of the birds I said that.)Albertonykushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345306530772709064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893026474426881196.post-78011306012169226572017-06-23T02:31:37.353-07:002017-06-23T02:31:37.353-07:00Good job photoing the Rakalis!

They were very active on my visit, running and swimming; camera-shy! I got a photo of a wet-blur, but I haven't (and probably will never) put it on my website, nor is it in the coding.<br />I never knew London had Boky-Bokies in the Rainforest House! I will check the next time i visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
