29. Reintroduced beavers branching out in San Pedro

Aquatic rodents might not instantly pop to mind when you think of Southern Arizona wildlife -
but they're thriving this spring along the San Pedro River near Sierra Vista.

We're talking beavers - those dam-building, tail-slapping mega-rodents more often associated
with mountain streams than arid-region rivers.

"Beavers are doing really well right now on the San Pedro," said Marcia Radke, a wildlife biologist
with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. "We're estimating the beaver population at about 100."

That's a big change since just a few beavers were reintroduced into the river beginning in 1999 -
about a century after trappers wiped out the last native beavers there.
