“The big rodents can be dam ferocious.”

Was that a spelling error or an attempt at word play on beaver dams?

That's why their national flag depicts two white guys butting heads and screaming at each other against a red background.

When I was Single I usually had to buy them Dinner before experiencing a Beaver attack.

In my experience, the more aggressive the Beaver, the better.
