Are you sure it's not a muskrat? I've seen plenty of those (or the same few a bunch of times) on campus but never a beaver or a groundhog. If it swims and has a long, vertically flattened, rat-like tail, what you're looking at is a muskrat.
The University of Waterloo actually had beavers on campus originally but because they were damming up the water systems on campus (ie. Westmount and Columbia) the university "moved" them. And when I mean move I mean cull because you can't move beavers somewhere else cause essentially it's moving the problem elsewhere. Yes I am an evironment student, and yes I have this information on good authority.
I see lots of beaver every day on campus.
ReplyDeleteAren't those groundhogs?
ReplyDeleteI thought those were groundhogs or something similar too.
ReplyDeleteGroundhogs are found here in the spring a lot, but I've never encountered a beaver anywhere near campus.

ReplyDeleteUnder the portable by E2 there is definitely a groundhog that lives under there. I had a close up picture of it and it's 100% a groundhog.
DeleteFair enough, I have no reason to doubt you. I just think it's easier to confuse a beaver with a muskrat rather than a groundhog.
DeleteI've definitely seen a groundhog several times near the back of Needles Hall.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw one while doing my hydrology lab
ReplyDeleteHEY LOOK AT THIS GUY EVERYONE, THEY STUDY HYDROLOGY. SO COOL.
DeleteThere's plenty. I've killed at least 4 with my 8 iron this Fall alone.
ReplyDeleteThey're groundhogs or muskrats you fucking morons.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the world is going to the shitter when people who claim to be smart can't even identify common animals in their own country.

ReplyDeleteI like in V1 and there is a groundhog that lives right out my window!
ReplyDelete100% a groundhog
ReplyDelete100% duck-billed platypus
