The beaver pounced as a man went to take its photograph after spotting the animal on the side of a road during a fishing trip.

A fisherman has been bitten to death by a beaver after trying to take its photograph.

The man was on a fishing trip at Lake Shestakov in Belarus with two friends when they spotted the animal on the side of the road.

He stopped so that he could take a picture but as he approached the beaver it pounced on him, biting him in the thigh.

His friends attempted to stem the flow of blood from the wound but the animal’s bite had severed a main artery and the man, who came from Brest, bled to death.

Beaver attacks are rare and according to experts those animals that do go for humans are usually rabid.

However, they are not unheard off.

“Mine’s different, it doesn’t have teeth, see?”

See, I don’t have teeth down there!

With gums like that who would?

One of my favorite jokes.

The gods must be crazy - badger with incredible tenacity follows the man across the desert after being offended by being stepped on.

The man ends up carrying the badger the last bit because he feels sorry for it.

“Good beaver gone bad...”

Never thought of the last name being part of the joke...

Here lies a nonbeliever,

I think some of these ‘softball’ stories are thrown out here to ‘thin the herd’.

There are as many one liners that could arise from this story as there are mods, so the quips must be kept to a minimum lest the innuendos get ‘out of hand’.

I have tangled with some beavers that were so ‘bad’ I wanted to chop my own arm or leg off, the word coyote comes to mind but since on ‘good behavior’, will end this now.

They very often are, at some level or other.

there is no such thing as a bad beaver, dad. only ones that need a little understanding and attention. Lots of attention until they are happy, that is. LOTS.

And still they might be unsatisfied.

Just sayin’

June, Don’t you think The Beaver was a little hard on Ward?

You never know about these things. Some times you can tell how sensitive they are by letting them have a test-tickle.

[Sir Napsalot]

Was the beaver doing something at the time that it didn’t want that photographed?

[Red Badger]

It was running around naked in the forest.........

[llevrok]

It probably had a headache. That’s the usual reason beavers don’t like being bothered any way.
