I guess it news?
Sometimes the crazy world turns its head away from the horrors unfolding and takes refuge in the simplest things. Not that beavers are simple, but this scoop from Yahoo is hardly what we’d call “news”.
Beaver Chews through Thick Poplar Limb in 45 Seconds
Occurred on August 19, 2020 / Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada Info from Licensor: “In this amazing video, I had a front row seat to watch this adult beaver chew through a thick poplar limb in about 45 seconds.

Watch this beaver waddle around downtown Vancouver (VIDEO)
While it’s quite common to spot a squirrel or even a raccoon in downtown Vancouver, it’s not every day that you see a beaver wobbling around the city. But that’s exactly what one Vancouverite spotted while they were downtown this week. In a video posted to Reddit by u/theselooselemons on Jan. 7, a small brown beaver is featured walking across the wet pavement at night with the caption: “Sighted in…downtown Vancouver???!” Numerous people have commented that the rarely-spotted rodent looks lost, while Reddit user WhatRUaBarnBurner jokes that “this is so f*cking Canadian.”
Same drill, an unshareable video. But click on the headline or the photo and you’ll get to the BREAKING NEWS!!!
