There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

I took one of my dogs out this morning, and we walked down to the beginning of our driveway, where the culvert runs under. I saw something brown and furry by one of the openings, and at first I thought it was a bunny...then I realized that it was actually the head of a beaver! He came all of the way out of the culvert for a few seconds but then went back in.

He was so cute! I have no idea how he wound up in our culvert. As adorable as it is, I hope he finds a more proper place!

I named him George.

Awesome! I imagine the dog wanted to be friends?

I REALLY had to struggle with the leash! My chocolate lab thought he'd found a new best friend. :P

Re: There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

Be careful... dont get too close... I hear their bite can be awful.

Speaking of which, did you ever see the "larry the cable guy" bit on beavers... he said that he read in a paper that a beaver bit a guys nipple off...

anyways... just be careful.

Re: There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

Where I live, there are beavers all over the place. I see them all the time... usually they are just searching for what they need and they'll make it back to their home.

it's funny that you mentioned this, I was going to Chunky's in Haverhill, MA... (movie theater), and one ran across the highway! lol weird...

Wow that is so cool. I've never even seen a beaver in real life.

Re: There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

That is kind of odd. Did you actually see its tail? A muskrat can look like a small beaver if you don't see the tail.
I agree that, hopefully, it will find a more proper place. Are there any streams or lakes in the area that have been drying out? It could be trying to find a new home.

Re: There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

I saw the tail, he came all the way out at one point. Definitely a beaver!

I haven't seen him since though. There's a nice looking pond across the railroad tracks nearby, maybe he was just visiting from over there.

Quite possible. It could be that he was "hunting" for saplings to bring back to the lodge.

Re: There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

well, you know the entertainment business is rough and i bet that's the beaver from Chronicles of Narnia.. they never paid him and that was his actual house that they destroyed.. poor guy.. his wife left him for a raccoon..

Re: There's A Beaver In My Culvert!

Every time I read the title of this post I think it's a rude nursery rhyme or something like... a rap song!

I always wonder what a culvert is thinking "better not ask"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW. How CUTE is that? One million points for the genius who drew that. So, was that Dave or Stacy's artwork, then FTBettaCouple?

And that's a culvert? That whole in the ground?
