Road Kill Education

Even road kill can teach those that are willing to learn. I have seen two dead, large beavers along the sides of the road going up to the lake, and to our hunting property, this spring. In 64 yerars, I have never seen dead beaver by the side of the road. Then I see two of them a week apart.

My speculation is that it is the spring of the year and healthy male adults are nudged out of their parent's home, or are driven by biological urges to go out on their own, to find new creeks and new territories to set themselves up with a missus, down the road.

Muskrats are common road kill in April or May in Minnesota, but are not seen otherwise. I speculate again that they looking for mates or their own territories.
