If a beaver does approach you, what's the best way to defend yourself?
toss a raw tree trunk to distract him, and run in the opposite direction.
Yes, it's crucial that the tree is uncooked, otherwise it won't work.

#63> 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.
The issue there is that the modern Zombie myth of an undead creature that spreads by biting only dates back to 1968.
Why does it being from 1968 mean it wasn’t inspired by rabies?

Zombies who eat brains are the mentally ill.
Bram Stoker’s vampire characters and stories are gay, as are their heirs (Anne Rice).
Sparkling Twilight vampires are Latter-Day Saints.
Zombies and vampires existed long before these novels and films got made, but pop culture has a way of wiping out and superseding local folk culture in the modern minds of new generations.

#69Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
I don't think it's too complex, considering various furry animals names have been used. Rabbit (coney/cunny), cat (pussy).

#70This 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...

Reading the article in the comment you just replied to, the delicious scent is apparent from simply sniffing near the beaver's rear end. I imagine it wasn't hard to find.
