The dog and I watched one of these not-so-little guys up close and personal on our evening walk a few days ago. He (or she) was half in the river and half on the bank, nibbling on an aspen branch.  The dog and I sat from a few feet away, watching for several minutes, until the dog could stand it no more and let out one little woof. The beaver thought for a minute and then dove under and swam off.
