The recent discovery of two beavers sighted along Matadero Creek in Palo Alto could be a sign of a major comeback for the species in the Bay Area.
Naturalist Bill Leikam, who is the co-founder and president of the Urban Wildlife Research Project, captured trail camera footage of the semiaquatic rodents wandering along the waterway late last month, as the Mercury News first reported. He set up the cameras after he had been tipped off by a resident who claimed to have seen one while they were meditating on the side of the creek, and sure enough, there they were — a male and a female. Now, Leikam treks along the waterway twice a day to check the cameras and scour the beavers’ new home for signs of their whereabouts, finding clues in the form of paw prints in the mud and tooth marks on ash trees. He’s hopeful the pair could help reestablish the species’ population in the area.
“It’s exciting,” Lekam told the Mercury News. “It’s been 160 years since there [have] been any beavers along any of these creeks. It speaks of the health of the creeks.”

Uh-oh! The democRATS are very busy trying to take down dams right and left. Those busy little beavers are going to wreak havoc on the plans of the environazi wackos. Will there be emergency legislation (never let a crisis go to waste!) to monitor, track, and dismantle these new dams?
Will the Beaver Lobby have to create their own GoFundMe site to protect their habitats? Will they label each dam as sustainable, and renewable? If they give enough money to the Clinton Library & Massage Parlor, Clinton would love to chase more beaver. Clinton could restart his Intern Program.
Especially after what they did to the Gators.
Cue the Frank Drebbin Nice Beaver graphic.
Don’t they know that beavers are now known as vagina squirrels?
Are they sure they are actual beavers, and not transbeavers?
Maybe they’re only muskrats who identify as beavers.
Especially when Ward was being really tough on the beaver last night.
LOL. I clicked on this thread for the comments.
Damn Hugh Beaumont...
And there's the always enjoyable giant inflatable beaver.
That was the old days, now everybody will ooh and awe as the flood waters wash away the feces.
Of course - Exit 69...
Can’t touch that.

“Don’t they know that beavers are now known as vaginaX They/Them squirrels?”
Sorry to be a grammar nazi, but that, in my mind had to be fixed. Beavers identify as They/Them. Shall we let the correction stand? If not, you are racist.
;-)
(may 23 suck less)
Ommmm...Ommmm...Ommmm
Thank you!
These real beavers, or trans-beavers we have to pretend are real beavers??
