Tonight, I got beaver.
However, it's not what you may be thinking.
The truth is, I saw a couple of young beavers
swimming in a park in Somerset this evening
and I photographed them.
They are not large ones.
While the older males can get up to about 60 pounds,
these two were likely about 7 & 6 pounds.
I'm guessing it is their first pairing
and that they may have youngsters in the spring.
That is, if they can stand each other for the whole winter.
I bet that male will be getting
beaver this winter.
Here's a photo of one if you never saw one before.

I had seen them many , but still dont get it , how they live .
I think to somebody here would be nice way to think about really original tattoo
beaver are good in dam building,i am sure David Attenborough talked about it
They dig a burrow (home) near the water's edge with several exits.
They eat bark and shoots of trees.
When they are upset, they will slap their big flat tail
against the top of the water to make a large splash.
They will often build dams to regulate the water flow.
They are nature's aqua engineers.
S - I'm not sure what animal that is, because there's no fur on a beaver's tail. I'm willing to make a closer inspection though.
F - you're dam right.
M - I didn't know you swung that way.
