Rabid beaver attacks father, 7-year-old daughter kayaking on river

Synopsis: A rabid beaver attacked a man and his young daughter kayaking down a river in PA.

The father beat the beaver with a pole until it gave up on him and bee-lined for the daughter. Father goes in the water to protect daughter and ends up beating the beaver to death.

Video of the attack

Story excerpt:

A peaceful day on the water turned to terror for a father and daughter in Pennsylvania.

Dan Wherley explained to Fox 43 that he and his 7-year-old Layla were kayaking on the Conewago Creek in Adams County when a beaver took to viciously attacking his brand new kayak.

"Get away cause it's a beaver!" screams Wherley in video he caught on his cell phone. "Get the (expletive) away. Get away you (expletive)"

"I looked, and it was a beaver scratching at it, and I thought 'wow, that's pretty cool- a beaver came up to us! It wouldn't stop, so I used my paddle, tried to hit it to get it away, and it just wouldn't stop, wouldn't stop," explained Wherley.

After realizing the beaver wasn't going to quit, Wherley fought back with what he had on hand: his paddle.

This prompted the beaver to head for Layla.

To: left that other site

Last year we saw a pair just meandering down the sidewalk. Twas a crazy sight to see here. A few years before that I saw one lone huge coyote (looked wolf actually but I know that’s impossible) running through the baseball diamond. We had a family of foxes living right next door awhile back. This year there are no predators seen, but a whole lot of skunks!

Not a knock on the father as the situation escalated from “Oh there’s a beaver” to “Sh*t it’s going after my daughter”, but isn’t it interesting that the first thing we seem to do is reach for the cell phone to get video?
