In response to recent posts by Ebill and Fool over the weekend, where an errant rooster and a chicken took up residence in front of their rowhouse Highlandtown, I wondered how many people caught the story of the Beaver that was found wandering near here on Mt. Royal Blvd. last weekend. Apparently, after taking the beaver to the Baltimore Zoo, they had to euthanize the poor thing. I'm sure the combination of stress, and whatever illness caused it to find it's way from the Jones Falls (presumably), to the University of Baltimore, contributed to its untimely death.
It may have been rabid. Rabies seems to cause animals to approach humans.
