Beaver swimming in pond at PTW

We have a beaver swimming up into the outflow pipe at end of 122nd Street in PTW. Sits on shore line and swims around pond. Slaps his tail when frightened.

Are you, Alex & Babcock somehow going to say it a problem and Pollocoff & Steinbrink are responsible?

Why, are they releasing beavers?

Are you sure it isn't a muskrat? They are about half the size and have a narrow rat-like tail. I'm not saying it's not a beaver, but muskrats are more prevalent.

Beaver. Big flat tail that slaps the water when scared. We've had muskrats every year and this is a lot bigger but not a full grown beaver.

Cool, maybe not for everyone at PTW, I'll have to bring my kids over there to check that out.

Better hurry. Jr. and Steve K. know.

Yes, I hear they regularly come over by the land between 7th Avenue and the north part of Carol Beach and do all kind of nasty things to beavers.
