Btw, the last Swedish beaver was shot in 1871. The ones we have now are Norwegian.

There were still beavers in Norway, but there is a mountain range along the entire Swedish-Norwegian border and the beavers don’t climb mountains. But in the 1920’s conservationists brought some Norwegian beavers to Sweden, and now there are loads of them.

Once when I was riding my bike home from work a damn beaver had felled a big tree across the bike lane, so I had to get onto the highway to get around it. Must have been an amateur beaver, because I assume he wanted the tree to fall into the creek, but instead it fell in the opposite direction and impeded traffic. Norwegians! :roll:

And even though American and European beavers look the same, they can’t interbreed.
American beavers have 40 chromosomes while European ones have 48.

The only downside being the Beaver(s) in question inability to "mingle"....

....a couple of good Beavers should be able to at least clip each other's hedges.

Know what I mean, say no more, nudge nudge, wink wink....

You obviously haven't heard of Cuz and the land whales.

In Canada, we have beaver tails. But I enjoyed your Nordic beaver tales.

Damn beaver dams :scowl:
