My new aquatic, furry pet - 06/05/19 04:20 AM
As we were fishing down the dam shoreline, I was a bit surprised to see a large beaver surface perhaps 30 feet from the boat. He didn't seem very frightened, but eventually took a dive after we got a bit closer.
After another 40 feet, the critter resurfaced and faced us. He let us get closer this time, maybe within 15 feet, before taking off.
A few minutes later, the beaver resurfaced even closer to us. He swam calmly parallel to our course, as though escorting us to our destination, coming within 8 or 10 feet.
We haven't fed the beaver or interacted with it at all. Is this behavior unusual, or just a testimony to my immense personal charm?
