Announce: When beavers attack paddlers...

Yah, know, yesterday, when I was driving home from work, I drove past a woman who managed to take out a road sign which was suspended on two steel posts. Her car stopped on the side of the road on the grass just before a bridge with the sign resting on the roof of her car. I thought I had seen everything after that. But wait...now a beaver has attacked a kayaker, pulling the unsuspecting paddler over into the water while chomping on his arm. I think I can now safely say: "Say what!?" In all my years, the beaver I have paddled around and with have never shown their big yellow buck teeth at me in a threatening manner. Should I worry? Naw! I use a carbon fibre paddle, stopped using my wooden paddle years ago...but then again...I wonder. Hmm!
