Maybe the BEAVER smelled the scent of pine and thought he was going into a forest, not the DOLLAR GENERAL store.

Whatever you do don’t google the words “beaver” and “half & half”

Maybe a relative?

This is a Beaver dam/pond was taken in the fall in the Adirondacks of upstate NY. The Beaver apparently left one tree alone for Christmas

Extremely nocturnal animals seen during the day = possible rabies.

I’m surprised that the hungry beaver thread made it this long.

After months of politics, this is the type of story I’m happy to read.

More like a young male who has just been kicked out of his parents territory and being confused as all get out.

I have a huge beaver pond on my property that must support a dozen beavers. I have NEVER seen one during the day, ever. Not once ever.

There were beavers in a park lake near me until earlier this year. I saw an adult on several occasions and a juvenile once, all in the daytime.

If you search youtube for “greenbelt beaver” you’ll find a few more videos.
