A young beaver
Today's wildlife report. As I was jogging across the causeway of a local lake I ran up on a juvenile beaver. I was within 15 feet of him before he dashed into the lake.

Today it was The Tortoise and the Hare, well actually it was a cottontail and a turtle. The rabbit was faster but I did out run the turtle.
