Baby beaver off to make friends in Ontario
An orphaned baby beaver who was found on a walking trail in rural Manitoba was being flown to its new home in Ontario on Wednesday. An air charter service was flying the beaver pup from Winnipeg to Peterborough, Ont., so the animal could be rehabilitated.The Aspen Valley Rehabilitation Sanctuary, which already houses seven beaver cubs, said its current residents would provide much-needed companionship for the new arrival.
Baby beaver on an airplane? Good luck little guy! I hope that when AVRS is all done taking care of him they sit that reporter down and explain that we don’t call baby beavers CUBS. Sheesh!
More killer beavers were brought to my attention by Mike Callahan. Pretty soon beaver movies are going to be their own genre.
Our own baby beavers are doing well as you can see. It is much better when they’re not orphaned to begin with. They need family members to learn how to be a beaver, and even how to groom themselves, And if you don’t think kits are spoiled check out this photo Ron got of our little tyrant hoarding treats for himself and reminding Junior very politely to piss off.
It looks like we don’t have a single beaver kit with conjunctivitis this year which is excellent. Although guess who came down with it after the festival? Must have been all those kids! Thank goodness I had the week off to recover. Throwing a party for 2000 people takes something out of your immune system apparently. I was comforted to find this accurate representation of my current functioning this morning.
