The Daily Mail is generally despised and regarded as half a rung above the National Inquierer, but sometimes they do post fun articles about beavers for some reason. I guess when there’s no royal behavior to speculate on.
Nice gnawing you! Huge beaver is captured in Utah after chewing through tree that fell into power line and left 1,000 homes without power
A power outage that left 1,000 people in a small Utah town in the dark this weekend was caused by a huge beaver who gnawed through a tree and sent it crashing into power lines.
Nearly 1,000 residents of Logan were left without power for nearly an hour on Sunday afternoon after a large tree landed on powerlines. But the tree had help falling down and in a letter to the mayor, a safety officer confirmed a particularly large beaver was the behind the outage after gnawing through the base of the tree, causing it to tip over.
In a Facebook post addressed to the city’s mayor, safety officer Brody Parker confirmed that a beaver, located between the Boulevard and Canyon Road, dropped a large tree that landed on the power lines. After helping clean the trees and clear the area on Monday, Ambrie Darley, the Human Resource Director for the City of Logan, captured the animal on Tuesday, Parker wrote.
Is that a really a HUGE beaver? It’s weird because he seems to be just the right size for the cage she happened to bring. Funny they would bring such a large cage for beavers that are, everyone knows, much much smaller.
Good thing they caught that great big TREE CHEWING beaver. The other ones won’t present a threat to the power lines I’m sure.They probably just eat daisies or something. Did someone tell the mayor that Logan Utah is famous for coexisting with the beavers that settled in Walmart property?
