These pictures out of KOMO tv in Washington are about the most adorable kit pictures I have seen. Apparently one kit was orphaned when his mother was run over by a jet ski. (Another reason to dislike them!) The organization PAWS is working hard to make sure they get the best chance of returning to the wild. Go watch the video, its OMG worthy. Our Wildlife VP has already written them for their unique lodge box design. You, who are smart beaver supporters, have of course already guessed by now which of our fifty beaver-bearing states this story is from. That’s right, beaver Mecca, Washington. (God bless Washington!)
Yesterday I found that someone had been searching the blog for beaver rehab information, and I wondered if it was them. I have been trying to make sure they have this article on the “Psychological and Environmental Enrichment for Orphaned Beavers” from Anna G. Miller of the Alabama Wildlife Center. I’ll make it a pdf and get it into a permanent link soon, but in the meantime if you know anyone who knows them, pass it along or send them our way.
