I didn't know beavers could pick up things like that--especially a wiggly baby.

This is so precious! Thanks for posting!
It’s so funny- I live adjacent to Lorimer Park near Philadelphia and several years ago I swore to my husband that I had seen a capybara in the park & I thought that someone must have released one- now I have learned that Beavers have returned to the park !
