A man was attacked and killed by a beaver in Belarus.
Sky News reported the man was on a fishing trip with two friends
at Lake Shestakov when they spotted the animal on the side of
the road.
The beaver attacked the man as he approached to take a photo.
The Daily Telegraph offered a slightly different version of
events, saying the man wanted to pose next to the animal for a
photograph.
The next part of the story is not in dispute - the beaver sank
his sharp teeth into the man's thigh, severing a main artery.
Despite his friends' attempts to stop the bleeding, the man bled
to death.
"It was early morning and already light when they saw a beaver
by the road, which was unusual because beavers are nocturnal,"
Sergei Shtyk, the deputy head of the region's wildlife
inspectorate, told The Daily Telegraph.
"One of them went up to be photographed with it, and the animal
attacked him and bit him twice, cutting an artery in his thigh,
before running away."
Don't believe us yet about how intimidating a beaver can get?
The YouTube video below shows an unassuming Russian filming a
beaver that goes from "look how cute I am" to "I'm going to kill
you" in less than 30 seconds.

It turns out that a local clinic is the Beaver Medical Clinic. A
very capable and respected facility. AND. I know a gynecologist who
works there.
