Not sure what the runner-up was but.. I'd betcha it was a hairy thing tho.

They say this beaver could get as big as a small bear, maybe 200 pounds. I don't think they found any remains of gophers quite that big.. yet.

Wait a minute. Is this Minnesota’s way of making fun of Anastasia Beaverhausen?

Stuffing giant beaver? Now we’re talking. I used to know this girl from West Beaver Falls, made me a big fan of beavers. There’s noting like a well stuffed beaver. Their fur makes fine coats and they say that beaver tail is quiet a treat.
