Growing up in Minnesota l have seen many beavers, but none like the one who visits me on my hike from time to time. Today l was ready and courageous as hell !! He jumped in the water as soon as i started filming, but oh yea....l got him. When l first saw him a month or so ago my first thought was "HOLY SHIT!! He's as big as a seal !!" And his tail was "as big as a Boogie Board" ..And his poops are probably bigger than most of the kids in Nickelodeon Universe up the hill in the Mall of America. Mr. Beaver (or Theodore Cleaver sometimes) lives in the runoff/stream coming down from the Mall of America. God only knows what's in that water. Growing up in Minnesota l have seen a lot of beavers, but never one that was this massive...not even close. www.fws.gov/refuge/Minnesota_Valley/
