Beaver Attack

Beaver hospitalises fisherman in frenzied riverside attack
A hefty 3-stone beaver has hospitalized a fisherman following a frenzied attack.
The incensed animal swam across the river and launched itself at 55-year-old Russ McTindal.
The American said he tried to fight off the beaver by hitting it with his rod as the animal gnawed at his arm.
“It was attacking me,” McTindal told Channel 2 Action News. “He was actually attacking me. I hadn’t provoked him or anything.”
“This was one of the biggest beavers I’ve ever seen.”
Mr McTindal, who was rushed to a Georgia hospital, added “It hurt like hell.”

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
I’ve seen some big beavers, so I would definitely like to see this one.
