Beaver

Beaver swimming towards me

This guy/gal seemed fearless until all of a sudden it realized I was there. It slapped it's tail making a loud noise and big splash, then dove under to get away.

Another beaver just out of the water

I've always thought beavers were nocturnal but these guys were out in broad daylight.

I am linking to Saturday Critters HERE.

    I like the second photo. You were right at eye level with her. I say it's female. I have a 50% chance of being right. ;)

    What great photos! I haven't seen a beaver in the wild since, well, the beginning of time! They are dam cute, though!

    They're busy at many hours of the day. I've found the best chance to get sight of them is around sunset.

    What fantastic captures! Great job. I've seen beaver's dams in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, but wasn't lucky to spot not even one cute little creature.

    Great pics, BTW.

    Up close and personal! So cool when there's eye contact with wild animals. Beavers are impressive animals in their brown rodent-y way.

    Both shots are glorious captures of the beaver. The first shot in particular shows a wonderful view of the swimming beaver.
