As the canoe passed the island a beaver swam out to meet it and accompanied us for a stretch of about 100m. The beaver occasionally slapped its tail and dove but always came up alongside the boat. It finally left us and returned to shore when it, I guess, thought we were far enough away to no longer pose a threat to its young.
