what the f*@#? it's a beaver!

so i was out for a walk w/nugget this evening, and the usual array of animals were out and about. the crows were all caw-ing from the wirelines. we have a few ducks in the neighbourhood that swim in the creek, and this past weekend 2 canada geese suddenly appeared.

then out of the corner of my eye, i spotted movement in the weeds. a small dark coloured creature was slowly plodding away. at first i thought it was a large skunk, but it didn't have the signature white stripe. then it walked into the clearing and i saw the big flat tail that only a beaver has. yikes! how did a beaver make it's way into this burnaby 'hood? what a strange sight! he was content as could be and wasn't bothered by me or nugget....he just kept swimming around in the new pond from all the rainwater. weird, eh?
