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.

Ward, we have to have a talk about the beaver. He’s really done it this time.

I heard it this way: "Ward, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night"

[Sir Napsalot]

Right.

I always thought we should hear the beaver’s side of the story.

I rarely am presented with a dog that has been bitten by a beaver that I can save. Beavers go for the jugular and carotids and are successful more times than not when they go after a dog.

Beaver from La Mancha?

“Gee Wally, life sucks.”

“Yeah, but so do you, Beaver.”

Should have called the Beaver Whisperer. He does make house calls.

Why is a certain MC Hammer video playing in my head?

The beaver went out of control. He should have been a little harder on it before it got the best of him.

“...Beavers are the second largest rodents in the world...”

Second to the Congress Critter.

I watched the video. My personal feeling is that people are too disconnected from nature these days. The first clue he should have had that something was amiss was the Beaver casually sauntering rather than running away as he walked along side it. In any “wild” animal, this is not a good sign. If they don’t give ground, they are likely to take ground, and attack.

Never go to a beaver fight with a fishing pole.

I forgot to make a beaver joke, but I think they have all been done by this point in the thread, except maybe the one where the 2 beavers walk into the house, and the first one tells the second one to shut the dam door.
