   The Herald article mentions that the incident took place "a kilometre from shore, in water two metres deep."  So the beaver (?) would not have been cornered in any way, unlike the agressive beaver in Belarus. Also, in the article the victim is quoted as initially thinking that he was being attacked by a "sea otter."  Sure, here, on the Right Coast?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d; font-size: 11pt;">Re. beaver aggression, there was a story some time back about someone in Belarus who was killed by a beaver whose bite reputedly severed his femoral artery.  Not sure how credible it was but it seemed so.  Also, have a cousin in Nackawik who used to worry about her dog swimming in beaver-infested water.</span></p>
