Mmmm, beaver! Bug Girl posted these beaver recipes from a 1960 pamphlet entitled Good Eating from Woods and Fields, which also includes instructions for cooking muskrat. Link -Thanks, ersatz soubriquet!

Beaver Welcomes You To Canada

Posted by Jill Harness in Animal, Everything Else, Travel & Places, Video Clips on March 7, 2009 at 9:24 pm

This video is really cute. Make sure you watch the whole thing and don’t forget to turn the sound up loud enough to hear the conversation. If only this little guy really came out to welcome me to Canada, I would be there daily.

Good Detroit News (For a Change): the Beavers Are Back!

Posted by Queuebot in Animal on February 18, 2009 at 1:47 am

That’s right, delicious and nutritious beavers are returning to the Detroit River after being gone for decades. This is an encouraging sign that efforts to clean up the waterways are working. See, it’s not all almost-free homes and urban blight.

(I made up the stuff about beavers being delicious and nutritious)

The Detroit Free Press reports that a beaver lodge has been discovered in an intake canal at a Detroit Edison riverfront plant. Officials believe the beaver spotted by the utility’s motion-sensitive camera marks the animal’s return to the river for the first time in at least 75 years.

Illegal Logging?

Posted by Alex in Animal, Crime & Law on January 4, 2009 at 1:43 am

Environuts, … er, green enthusiasts were up in arms when they discovered an illegal logging site in Poland’s nature reserve. The police busted the culprit:

Environmentalists found 20 neatly stacked tree trunks and others marked for felling with notches at the beauty-spot at Subkowy in northern Poland.

But police followed a trail left where one tree had been dragged away – and found a beaver dam right in the middle of the river. A police spokesman said: "The campaigners are feeling pretty stupid. There’s nothing more natural than a beaver."
