Fisherman killed in beaver attack

The man was fishing with some buddies when he saw the animal on a lake. He decided taking a picture would be fun but it turned bad quickly.

As he approached the beaver it charged and bit him on the leg, severing an artery. He bled to death before his friends could stop the bleeding.

The incident happened in Belarus on Lake Shestakov and it’s not the first time a beaver has caused harm to a human.

 A video you can see below was posted on YouTube this week by a Russian man who was attacked be a beaver.

Last year two girls in Virginia were hurt when they were on the wrong end of some furry fury.
Sky News produced several articles about beaver troubles and pointed out the toothy creatures can bite through trees so they can be very dangerous.
Most of the attacks are blamed on beavers with rabies.
There was better “animal vs. human” news this week.
An 83-year-old Indonesian woman was bitten by a Komodo dragon but was able to fight the animal off and is doing fine.
