It certainly is not an Antechinus, let alone an antichynus.

In the absence of any indication of scale, Lyndon, it could even be the Giant Rat of Sumatra, ‘a story for which the world is not yet prepared’.

Thanks to all who offered opinions on my rat pic. It seems it could be a black rat, bush rat, antichynus or even a rattus turnbullus or trumprattus !!
