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

If your night last night was anything like ours you need a restful beaver read. Preferably with no explosions and plenty of eye candy. Consider this beaver porn.

Orphaned Okanagan beavers admitted to rehab centre

The tale of two beavers found alone in busy Okanagan neighbourhoods has a happy ending, as they are now safe in the care of the BC Wildlife Park. The fuzzy creatures were discovered in separate locations, but both are very young and thought to be orphaned.

Alder was found walking down a residential road in Vernon about five weeks ago, while Willow arrived from the Kelowna area after she was discovered alone under a bridge about three weeks ago. Both were admitted to the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, in Kamloops. The centre is a specialized hospital and rehabilitation facility dedicated to providing veterinary services for the resident animals of the BC Wildlife Park.

Awww. Of course they were “orphaned’ in the same way George Floyd’s daughter was ‘orphaned’. Meaning not from parental neglect but from the murderous attention of others. But still.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Meet Alder, and Willow. These two rescued beavers were admitted to the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre 5 and 3 weeks ago respectively. They were found separately and in different locations -Alder arrived first from the Vernon area. He was found walking down a busy road in a residential area. Willow arrived from the Kelowna area and was found alone under a bridge. Our rehabilitation team isn’t sure exactly what happened to orphan these two beavers, but it is thought that the high waters could have separated them from the rest of their family.

Oh I’m sure. But it’s nice you are raising them together and have pledged to keep them until adulthood. In the mean time I’m sure photos like these will raise lots of money for the center.  So you can keep doing this work a while longer.

I keep thinking about the fact that these two beavers were found a long ways apart. Which means some lucky staffer got to drive many miles with a baby beaver in her car. Maybe in a dog crate. Maybe on her lap.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

My audio of in beaver world has reached completion and now I’m just working on the film. We figured out a way to get the most elusive contributor yesterday, and I thought you’d enjoy a sneak peak. Also I discovered my dear friend and partner in crime POWTOON now takes uploaded video and I am over the moon with joy. Wonders await.
