"A kayaker in Upstate New York was hospitalized after being attacked by a beaver in Irondequoit Creek last week. Michael Cavanaugh was knocked into the water when the beaver jumped out of the creek and started mauling him, biting him on his back and arm. "I heard my name called out from the shop and I ran out the door to see a guy getting pulled into the water," a trainer at BayCreek Paddling Center tells WHAM. "It was like watching a horror film." Cavanaugh was able to get to the dock, but the beaver wouldn't let go, so the trainer started hitting him with a paddle until the paddle broke and the beaver finally retreated."

There was a disagreement. The guy was using kayak, and the beaver liked priceline better.

The smell is one way, probably the first and most noticeable way. Also.....warts. Run away fast.
A smelly, warty beaver is not anything you would want to play with.

Best to avoid the nasty beavers, but how is one to tell? Someone might be tempted to say something about being downwind, but someone might get banned.

"Rabies?""Cavanaugh is being treated for rabies as a precautionexperts say beaver attacks on humans are rare, and most are either a result of rabies or a beaver trying to protect its offspring"
It's a possibility that the beaver had rabies. The treatment is very painful, but it's preferable to death.
