#33This must be payback for us harvesting their delicious anal glands all those years ago. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/26/293406191/do...
I wonder how was it first discovered how beaver anal glands taste like.
Is it merely coincidence that a beaver is slang for female genetalia?

#36My little brother was attacked once in France by a coypu. Needed medical attention. Beavers (we already have coypu) are being re-introduced into the UK, so maybe this sort of thing will increase here.
It was because the beaver was rabid.

#40> The injured fisherman in today’s attack, a 19-year-old male, appeared to have sustained a bite to the ankle and transported himself A disease that propagates itself by making animals want to bite other animals. I suppose rabies is the base phenomenon behind the zombie meme. It's also a good description of a large fraction of social media posts.
It's amazing how microorganisms, including that Cordyceps fungus, can "control" macro nervous systems so specifically..
With rabies I'm not sure it is really control in the sense that it makes the host find victims, but rather that your neurons get damaged in a way that causes immense agitation and the biting is almost a reflex to "defend" yourself as you're incapable of processing what is happening.
