Jonjon79 13,340 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 ....... Kind of inspired by all of the big cat threads In the past, when I used to be enthusiastic about going looking for it, I would often encounter wild beaver ........ Usually a short while after last orders - there didn't seem to be a usual habitat, they could be found anywhere from alleyways to back seats of cars and even strange houses that I'd never been in before. On the whole, they'd be friendly creatures, although some would need a little coaxing to eat from your hand. As with any wildlife, some could have a condition or a parasite that may need to be dealt with later However, despite the risks, I found it to be a rewarding pastime in my younger years. ....... Alas, I did have a few pictures of these creatures but, they are now long gone. So chaps, here's your thread to regale your stories of wild British beaver and, of course, provide photographic evidence 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If one bit you it would strip you to the bone and defo bite a finger off imo. few photos from job we did in Stockholm.....took one beaver 48hrs! This was off another job we did and it still amazes the time and effort it put into that and to fell it the right way! Seen quite a few of these gnawed trees in Canada,wouldnt like to be bit off one of the little fuckers 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say the best so far, has been the very sexy and beautiful Lithuanian beaver.... I have a video somewhere of the encounter The filthiest was easily the notorious Blackpool Beaver!
