Default Are all beavers this friendly?

Hi all.
I went to fallen timber last night. The water was low and clear. No fish rising, we need a few warmer days. As i was walking along i heard a noise, looked over and saw this...
I fished along going further and further with no hits, so I deceided to look under a few rocks to see what was on the menu. I found this guy. a golden stonefly. over an inch long. If you include the tail and antenna it was pushing two delishous inches..
But the hilight of the night was this...

Cheers!!

Fishstix!!

Are all beavers this friendly?

In fact they are not.. I have come across a lot of beaver in my time and let me assure you they were not all that friendly.

I find they can be very friendly, it's all in how you pet them.

Da, check out the link on the bottom. If you look closely at the video you can see some claw marks on its back and a cut up shoulder. I think it may have had a run in with a cougar or bear.
PS. that first picture was a skunk.

Look at his shoulder.
