Meet Australia’s little otter, the Rakali

Meet the Rakali – a charming native animal that calls South Bank home.

Often referred to as ‘Australia’s little otter’, rakali have a beautiful golden tummy and white-tipped tail. They also swim in a way that often has them mistaken for platypus. This Australian native can be found right in the heart of Brisbane, at South Bank. We partnered up with South Bank Corporation to tell you a little bit about the rakali.

As part of our partnership with South Bank Corporation, we visited Picnic Island to spot this much-loved animal in its natural habitat

Thank you to Dr Tamielle B. from Wildlife Queensland who shared insights about the Rakali and how we can help look out for our urban wildlife.
