    The article says this is a unique event. Apparently it isn't unique but it is very rare. Akin to a spider being caught in it's own web. Very sad anyway.

    An unfortunate beaver in Vennesla municipality in southern Norway was hit by a tree, and died. – This is a totally unique case, says zoologist.

    I only opened this because I thought it was some sexual banter that I didn't understand.

    Clearly some things can be over thought.

    If a tree falls in the woods and the only thing to hear it was a beaver, but he died when it fell on him, did it make a sound?

    I damaged a beaver with some wood one night.

    I knew thats the lines of what I was thinking about when I opened the thread.

    Probably wouldn't have bothered with a big toothed rodent being wacked with a log.

    The lawyers will sue the forest owners on behalf of his bereaved family.

    This would never have happened if the beaver had been wearing hi-viz

    When you think about it, Mother Nature is the biggest killer there is. It's killed millions and millions of people and countless little critters too.

    Hippies should chain themselves to these dangerous trees before they kill again.
