Some people think beavers cute and cuddly-looking, but there's a ton of evidence that beavers are aggressive $#@!s -- very quick and they will attack. They can and will kill you. Some of you have seen the youtube of a beaver that crossed over from the opposite side of a road and killed the man recording him before the man realized what was happening.
They're no joke, even though they look odd and funny. That said, their tails are suppose to be good eating. Indeed, many feel that their tails are the only part of any value. Whatever. Point is, no matter how docile and submissive beavers might seem, they are often short tempered, violent, aggressive and quick to attack, and unforgiving. If you've spent much time around beavers, you probably already know this.
Their numerous shortcomings aside, everyone seems to agree that at times they can be a lot of fun!
It leaves me to wonder, how did they come to be called "beavers"?
I don't know. Never thought about it until now.
