I snared that beaver back around 1990 and showed it to a few folks cause it had one bottom tooth that curled up over it's head and was touching one ear, looked like a saber tooth.
F&W saw it and wanted to display it so I let them have it.

Interesting . I'm wondering if there was'nt some kind of deformaty in the jaw somewhere.
As a Beavers teeth grow very fast and never stop growing, they also wear very fast. It sounds like one side of the jaw was misaligned and that tooth failed to to make contact when it was knawing. It would only take a short time for that tooth to grow to the point it was useless for knawing and kept growing from there. I've heard of them growing into thier skull.
