Umm... I'm 98% sure I hit a beaver on my way home this morning from taking my DH to work... I didn't even realise that there are beaver still around here. Ive lived here for most of my life and have never seen one, until this morning... And unfortunately, I saw it to late... At first I thought it was a racoon... No way was that a coon, then it dawned on me what that mouse brown critter was...
Poor thing, wish I could have had time to swerve around it, but on wet windy roads, swerving isnt the smartest thing to do...
Sad morning for me, I just hope that I killed it, and didnt just injure the poor thing.
Ive already called animal control, and the lady said she would send someone out to check...
Don't know what else to do about it, besides try to not beat myself up to much over it...
The thought that it might have been an otter did run through my mind... But it was to short in the back to be an otter... Poor little critter...
