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.

Imagine being stabbed to death with four wood chisels.

Given the title, Shirley you suspected this one would show up .. not precisely germane, but close enough   ;-)

There once was a man from Brest
Who always loved ladies’ legs best
He was off and away with friends on a trip
When a beaver gave him a heck of a nip
Beavers like man legs — who would have guessed?

That’s SOME beaver...

Sounds to me like the beaver got “lucky” and severed an artery.

Yep, if he can take down a large tree, your leg isn’t going to be much of challenge. Moral of the story, don’t mess with the chainsaws on legs....

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

And no wonder, look at the condition of the gums!

I just don't have the emotional energy to mourn, still recovering from Manya dying.

It was ONE bite and it severed a major artery.
It’s like when my mother’s 7 pound cat killed a large doberman; the cat got in a lucky bite to a major artery and the dog bled out in seconds. If the dog had bitten first it would have been all over.

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

Ward... Don’t you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?
Only in the 50’s would a name Beaver Clever be non-sexual.
