Angry Beavers
|
A fisherman has been bitten to death by a beaver after trying to take its photograph.
Bad things can happen when trying to take a picture of a beaver.
The man was on a fishing trip at Lake Shestakov in Belarus with two friends when they spotted the animal on the side of the road.
"It's a Trap! A Beaver Trap"!
He stopped so that he could take a picture but as he approached the beaver it pounced on him, biting him in the thigh.
I didn't know the furry things could be so vicious.
His friends attempted to stem the flow of blood from the wound but the animal's bite had severed a main artery and the man, who came from Brest, bled to death.
Bad way to go. Taking pictures of beavers.
Beaver attacks are rare and according to experts those animals that do go for humans are usually rabid.
I have gone beaver hunting but have seldom been succesfull.
However, they are not unheard off.
I've never heard of one. Until now.
Earlier this week a video was posted on YouTube showing a man in the Tver region, northwest of Moscow, running away from a beaver who charged at him as he was filming in the area.
You must be in bad shape to barely outrun a beaver.
Last year in the US two girls were mauled by a beaver in a lake in Virginia as they swam. They suffered serious bite and scratch injuries. A man was also attacked in New York and an elderly woman in Washington.
Nature strikes back!
In 2003 in Belarus a farm manager and farmhand were bitten by a rabid beaver as they tried to chase it from a barn. They survived the attack.
Beavers are the second largest rodents in the world.
I have personally seen some very large beavers. They have become very rare nowdays.
