About 20 years ago I watched a group of about 3 or 4 of them munching on a Pacific Black Duck, which by that time was well dismembered. This was at night in commonwealth park, I think during floriade. It was the noise of what I suspected as cracking bones that lead to the tracking this down.

I watched Rakali  at Giralang Pond take a turtle quite a few years ago. nature in all its gory glory it also took quite a few minutes.

Well before my good camera or mobile phone .

Some of you might be interested in image ID 34549 of a Rakali predating a male Chestnut Teal. Not one of my images. (I wish!). I would guess that it is one of a kind:
