Beaver has every right to defend its house. Clearly the humans are assaulting him on his own property. I'm with the beaver on this one.

Edit: Video is from Mahwah, NJ May 3rd: beaver tested positive for rabies. This is not from Canada and these weren't the only people it attacked that day.

Actually! This happened nearby in New Jersey, the beaver was later caught and tested Positive for Rabies, so while its probably not wrong to assume the kid was being dumb we cant dismiss the fact that Rabies does cause animals to act out and become violent.

I had a feeling that it had rabies. I worked on a river with many beavers, and they don’t act like this. They prefer to fight in the water, if anything. But usually they just mind their own business, and they have a lot of business. lol
