TOO MUCH BEAVER IS NEVER A GOOD THING


If you are reading this chances are you think this is some sort of pornographic entry. I hate to disappoint  but this is not what you think. I am talking about our little wonderful friend the beaver. I think that too much of those little bastards is a bad thing. In order to illustrate my point I will bring forward the story of a man in Belarus that was killed by a beaver that objected more than vociferously to having its picture taken. I can't not emphasize enough how dangerous it is to try and take pictures of animals in their habitat.

I can imagine what will go on this man's headstone " Beloved Father........Mauled By Belarusian  Beaver." I am not making fun of the guy but the truth is that you will die if you try to get too close to a lovable creature. Everyone will remember what happened to Steve Irwin after he decided to get overly personal with a stingray. You just can't trust animals in their habitat or otherwise. I love animals but I refuse to invade their space.

I never saw Jaques Cousteau get so close to fish that he put himself in the middle of a dangerous situation. I think this is another cautionary tale that animals in the wild are to be left alone. Seriously nature lovers it's okay to love animals just don't be stupid about it.
