It was the most serious in a string of beaver attacks on humans in Belarus, as the rodents have turned increasingly aggressive when confronted by humans after wandering near homes, shops and schools.

The fisherman wanted his photo shot with a beaver. The beaver had other ideas: It attacked the 60-year-old man with razor-sharp teeth, slicing an artery and causing him to bleed to death.

This was likely a six-second situation, and the idiot never had a chance.

The news reports indicate that without any real hunting going on....beavers have grown into larger-than-average characters, and there’s probably a need to bring in some big-time hunters.

Did no one ever tell these people that they should never pose with a beaver?

Its one of the earliest lessons my great granny taught me.

Without trapping, the muskrats around here are starting to look like beavers.

But since they’re such easy targets near dams, says ministry spokesman Alexander Kozorez, “beaver hunting holds little sporting interest.”

I thought they were hunted for fur?

There is a grade B horror movie lurking in this event. Perhaps “The Attack of The Killer Beavers.” A Group of teens are happily camping near a beaver dam. The really cute blond wanders off at night her last scene depicts a giant shadow creeping up on her.....

Terror in the swamp.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090149/

In an effort to create the perfect nutria for breeding by the fur industry, a scientist and his assistant inadvertently create a brutal mutation that escapes into the nearby swamps.

.... and now we need the cartoon of the beaver in a bathroom basin with shaving cream, and the woman saying, “Sometimes men ask the strangest things!”

That could change if Jacksonian-era beaver hats were ever to come back into style.

Very good. Further, the scientist polluted the environment accelerating the growth of the beaver. Throw in a small town menaced by the beaver.
