The beavers do NOT attack randomly or for fun. Those hikers must have been doing something that made the beavers think that the beavers source of food, travel, the pups, etc and were in danger of real harm.
Beavers ignore bears, wolves, etc and just ride out any attack in the den. So I think the world has NOT gotten the whole story. Those “hikers” were really doing something bad to the beavers.

Any creature that can fell trees by biting them needs to be treated with respect.

Ward must have been a little too hard on the Beaver last night.

I lived on a lake years back. The beavers were the size of small bears. I would go out in my canoe and they would slap their tails on the water to warn you off. It would rock the canoe pretty good.

I have never had to go to the hospital after a beaver attack but I have had one knock my hat off.

Well said but it’s been my experience that some beavers are unpredictable.

And if you have ever seen a car after hitting a beaver on a highway, you would know that a beaver is a pretty stout beast. Adult male beavers go 60 pounds.

Great bumper sticker sold at the 1984 RNC in Dallas. Mondale and Ferraro were the dems. “Vote Wally and the Beaver”. I have one!!

Rare? Beaver attacks aren’t that rare.

Some beavers are disease carriers.

Maybe they were ticked off from their last encounter and went back for revenge?...
