A fat beaver stuck in a wrought-iron fence was rescued this week by a quick-thinking animal services officer.
The adult beaver, still carrying excess fat from winter hibernation, was found stuck between two fence bars around noon Tuesday on a private property in Hamilton, city spokesperson Ann Lamanes said in a release.
Officer Sarah Mombourquette used soap to free the beaver, which suffered some injuries.
After resting at the city’s animal services shelter and snacking on some vegetables, the beaver is recovering at the Hobbitstee Wildlife Refuge in Jarvis, Ont., and is expected to eventually be released back into the wild.

From what I’ve seen of their incredible handiwork, we could hire beavers and have the border wall built in about a week.

They should have shaved it.
A shaved beaver is a happy beaver.

Really, kinda cute story.
Although I’m sure if the beaver could talk he’s say he’s not fat, just big boned.

A little soap to make the beaver slippery? I can think of better ways.

Fat from winter hibernation? That doesn’t even make sense. Animals use up their fat reserves during hibernation and are thinner when they come out.
