I finally gave in and posted this story. I've always marveled at the fact that our neighbors to the south chose as their national symbol, the American Bald Eagle (who I might add nest in the woods around the Ottawa River): a majestic and awesome predator. We Canadians however went a different direction in choosing a rodent (yes a beaver is a large rodent) as the animal in which we invest our national identity. This story will help one understand that the Beaver is a far more accomplished fellow than many of us have given him credit for!
