In Response To: Material: This is just too funny (Jay Babina)

Laugh while ye may - a fellow near Vanderhoof east of here noticed a beaver apparently stranded on a bridge on Highway 16. Being the compassionate fellow he was, he parked, and walked back with the idea of shooing the animal off the bridge and down to the river so it wouldn't get run over. The beaver attacked him and cut his legs up so badly that he ended up in the hospital, where he was interviewed by CBC, which is how I heard about it. The beaver took off to the river after beating up on the guy.

40 pounds and teeth that can take down two foot diameter cottonwood trees - not to be trifled with when cornered. :)

Long live the beavers,

: Someone is asking on Paddling.net if beavers are dangerous.
: I immediately thought that they are on the wrong bulletin board and
: should have posted here. I can only imagine the funny remarks.
