These guys camouflage really well . Sure wish I could have gotten closer. So the obvious question ...is this the biggest beaver you have ever seen ?

That is definitely the biggest dam (forgive the pun) beaver I have ever seen. One heck of shot too Dave.

Why didn't that beaver bring his whole fam damily?

Neat shot - I'm not sure I've ever seen a beaver dam in the "wild."

**Mallee Boy** · 07-22-2013, 02:53 PM

.....well...this being the first beaver I have ever seen I can confidently say yes, that is the biggest beaver I have ever seen.

And masterfuly captured to.

**Bob Harris** · 07-22-2013, 04:06 PM

you're lucky to get that, they are quite elusive for sure.

**volley** · 07-22-2013, 07:26 PM

to answer your question: definitely yes.
Great capture Dave!

Brazeal · 07-22-2013, 07:56 PM

Cool shot, and definitely a big beaver.

GeoJerry · 07-23-2013, 10:39 PM

Nice catch.... I've never seen one of these guys in the wild. They don't go for SoCal, it seems!

**jbinpg** · 07-24-2013, 12:08 AM

Yep that is a big lodge but not the biggest I have ever seen. I think the biggest is up the Alaska Highway west of Fort Nelson in NE BC. Mighty big buck beaver, though. I suppose he has had that new coat of greenery recently delivered. Pretty sporty looking.

Thanks Grant wish I had a longer lens or was closer but it's not that bad. Time I got closer he was off into the water.

Thanks Bob they are indeed - when he was in the water , every time I made too much noise he would indeed slap his tail on the water and submerge to saftery.
