In defence of that particular beaver: the fellow that eventually bled to death was not trying to 
take a photo of the beaver, he wanted his photo taken with the beaver ....

Getting too close to any kind of wild animal is risky for all criters involved. Trying to pet and 
hug one means getting very close and they all have their sharp, pointy, and other means to 
discourage us to do so.  Somehing to keep in mind when approaching and handling one with 
noble intention of rescueing or saving it.
