[cool][#0000ff]I had a couple of beaver experiences in Colorado where the beavers would come out and circle around me, smacking their tails on the water. Totally put the rising brookies down two mornings in a row.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have never heard of anyone being attacked by beavers. They are basically shy rodents that live in fear of attack by predators. Their tail smacking is as much a warning to other beavers as it is a threatening gesture to intruders.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On the other hand, I have heard that when cornered on dry land they can be very defensive and will chomp a big hole in any creature that comes close enough to get in range of the teeth.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As long as you don't have a wooden leg for them to gnaw on, you are probably safe.[/#0000ff]
