And we're not allowed to say "Beaver" in the Lounge? ;P

I wasn't aware that various species of the rodent family were verboten to speak about here. I hope rats are okay. and capybaras. Love them.

Did a beaver chew through a cable? Fell a tree that took out infrastructure? Have a burst dam take out infrastructure? I recall reading that much of North America's topography was shaped by beavers, whose dams backfilled low-lying areas and made them more fertile.

From what I read, a single beaver felled a tree that took out some fiber optic lines.

I used to work for a power company in Vermont. My boss heard a loud bang at his house and the power goes out. He goes out into his yard and finds a smoking fried squirrel on the ground and the fuse on his utility pole was blown.

My uncle had the same thing, except it was a squirrel nest on top of a transformer. The casing rusted through and one night during a storm, the transformer exploded.

Beavers are no laughing matter. They'll build dams wherever they damned well please, causing water streams to get rerouted and causing floods. Destroy a dam and they'll be back at it the next day. And since it's illegal to kill them in Canada, you have to get so-called experts involved. I witnessed that firsthand 2+ decades ago. I can just imagine the stupid paperwork nowadays.

They are eaten all over South America - except Chile apparently, but especially in Venezuela - and are apparently really tasty!

I know this evil of which you speak, and it breaks my heart. Those critters are way to clever to be eaten. =(
