MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — On the arrival of National Fossil Day, the giant beaver is the winning candidate to become Minnesota’s official state fossil.

The beaver beat out nine candidates and will go on to face the legislative process to become the state fossil.

More than 11,000 people voted, and 25% of them voted for the giant beaver.

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.

Why did I suddenly think of Rep Ilhan Omar?

In a related story, Americans vote for Joe Biden as the American national fossil.

We are talking about that cute furry little creature, right?

The runner-up was MAXINE WATER’s attack wig!!!

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

I figure Walter Mondale would be a great fossil for Minnesota.

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.
