Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

Day: March 7, 2020


Ready for a harrowing beaver rescue? Of course you are. This little beaver was surrounded by whitewater and had nothing to eat for days before his rescue. Click the link to see his harrowing escape. For some reason I can’t embed it in the mountains.

Beaver rescued after being stranded for days on rock near rushing river

A beaver that found itself stranded on a rock in Wellesley has been rescued.

The Animal Rescue League of Boston helped Wellesley Animal Control rescue the distressed animal Thursday near the Cordingly Dam Fish Passage along the Charles River.

The animal was stranded on a rock between a retaining wall and the rushing river under a footbridge. Concerned residents started contacting the town about the animal’s perilous position Sunday.

Now call me crazy but I think if there’s a single thing a beaver can manage its water. Even white water. I remember rushing down to see our beavers in the huge storm, afraid they would be swept away and seeing them happily padding against the current. Robin checked with the rescue sitapparently has no broken. bones but isn’t eating. I’m guessing tat beaver was either biding his time or unwell to begin with.

But what do I know? Wellseley kills a lot of beavers. It will be nice for them so spend some time with a live one for a change,
