Beavers: Much More Than Purple Merkins in Canada

For the life of me, I cannot understand why humans attempt over and over and over again to hassle wild animals.  (Think back to 2006: Steve Irwin and the stingray death...)  But most recently, a fisherman in Belarus was apparently attacked by a beaver after trying to snap a fancy picture of the animal.  It bit him in the thigh and severed a major artery and he bled to death.  (That's hawt...)  The video below is of a different attack of a Russian man trying to capture a beaver just doin' its thing and it turns and attacks him.  Can ya blame the little fella?


I can see the thrill of wanting to capture wildlife through photography or video -  FROM A GAWD DAMN DISTANCE!  What I do not understand is relentlessly following an animal and then NOT expecting it to turn on you to gnaw the living shit out of your sorry ass. 

Moral of the story?  Beavers are much more than just one of Canada's national symbols or fancy merkins to dress up your privates... they are animals with big arse teeth that bite through freakin' TREES!  THINK ABOUT IT.

A purple merkin.... if you're into that sort of thing.
Who knew???

    1. Yes, indeed I *AM* just too magnificent! It's about time someone noticed. Bringing joy along with my intelligence is something I've never had to work at. I'm certainly glad you took notice. This IS truly a tremendous site. Like, duh.

      Oh, btw, I won't be doing any surfing. I hate the beach.
