CBC News reports that “a large, agitated beaver attracted a crowd in Fort Smith, N.W.T., this week when it meandered through town and got hissy with a German shepherd.”
Local gentleman Mike Keizer, a longtime resident in of this small town of 2,400, told a reporter he hopped on his bicycle as soon as he heard there was a beaver on the loose. Who can blame him for wanting to get a close-up look at a beaver? “It looked huge. I always thought beavers would be smaller,” he said.
The CBC item continues, “Keizer said in his 17 years living in Fort Smith, he has never seen a beaver — never mind a beaver so large — come into town.”
