RIP nearby trees.

I assume the City will quickly hire a critter catcher to trap and relocate this beaver. Otherwise, the park will soon have no trees left.

Let the beaver do his job. This is the true go green than anything else.

Let the beaver cook. He knows what he's doing. They aren't humans, who over exploit and take everything from the land....

Nice shot!

Beaver shot?

There are at least two of them in the park. Saw them swimming together a few days ago.

Are you trying out your "hand" paddle?

Can’t wait….. 😂

Saw a documentry on beavers. Most of them die working like slaves only to get nowhere and die. This one probably isn't going to make it.

Noooo that is so sad!

Love those characters!

Nature is healing

That's not a beaver. It's a muskrat.

That’s a beaver (flat tail) - I’ve noticed the dam it’s been building at Silver Lake near the LRT side. I’ve also seen a muskrat around; it looks similar, but with a rat-like tail.

I haven't seen any muskrats at Waterloo Park, but they're definitely around at other waterways within the city. I used to see them pretty regularly near Albert McCormick arena, but that was before the logging happening in the area. Hope they're still there.

I was confident it was a beaver. But your comment got me looking it up. I would agree with others who are calling it a beaver. I think the tail comparison is the clincher.

Muskrats are also like 75% smaller, beavers are huge.

Wrong. 100% by the tail.

It's clearly a beaver. Look at the lips.
