Scotland welcomes back wild beaver

Obviously a slow news day...

Unless there beaver with frickin' lasers on there heads, I fail to see the IT angle.

Wild Scottish Beaver?

I'd say most beaver in Scotland is pretty wild myself.

Paris because she likes to introduce beaver in every habitat she visits..

@Chris W

Thanks, I've just had it stuffed.

clatty pat's

Anyone who thinks wild beaver was extinct in Scotland obviously hasn't been to Clatty Pat's!

@Steven

c'mon dude... this is the most beaver I.T. boys see at ant one time isnt it . . .

tsk-tsk, Lester

No beaver-related double entendres and it's Friday too

Paris, because I've heard her minge is very nice

@ Alasdair S

Clatty Pat's (aka Cleopatras) closed in 2006......

Velociraptors?

Change the title of the story to "Beavers goto Scotland" and your Velociraptors shouldn't be far behind.

And that would satisfy Steven's request for an IT angle.

flappy body parts...

i like beaver [s]

Re: Beaver Patrol!

Let me see:

My greatest way of getting kicks / is go to Knapdale Forest, Mid-Argyll and hustle chicks.....

Nope, doesn't work for me.

My Vestan Pantz please.

@ Caffine

They can always do what Arkansas has done...introduce alligators to prey on the beavers.

Sorry, I don't have a pun that hasn't already been used...

salmon habitat

Greetings from Oregon, the Beaver State--there's one on the state flag. Yes, beaver will "..impact migratory fish numbers, especially salmon", and the impact will be positive. Beaver dams are low enough and leaky enough that salmon go right thru them, and beaver ponds are excellent salmon habitat.

wild beaver...

... can't have enough of them. Good move, Scotland!

thanks

for the heads-up on this. I'll be sure to check out the wild beaver next time I go to Scotland.

Just Keep The Gillette Fish Out

Or all the beavers will be shaved and if that happens it will take lots of money to keep them warm. Not to mention fast cars and big dam houses.

Salmon, part 2

Further greetings from Oregon, where much jingoistic amusement has been garnered from reading quotes and opinion pieces from concerned British people who believe that rampaging gangs of beavers will need only a few years to fell the forests and murder all the salmon in the country. Especially good was this suggestion that it's all a vile Anglo-European plot against the Scots:

@Doug Glass

There is the Scottish Fold - a breed of cat crossed with the Don Sphinx to make a hairless breed, so I see nothing wrong with a hairless breed of beaver.

Lord knows, Scottish lasses have been "clam" - moring for a bit of the hairless kilt snake for some time, eh? I know I have had none of them complain. ;-)

Paris - because she always keeps her beaver shorn.

Wild scottish beaver ya say?

That's hardly news.

I have lived here all my life and can safely say that not only have there always been some wild ones there are more than a few that are absolutely freaking livid!

Paris because ours look better than hers. ;-P

Wouldn't you just love to introduce yourself in a highland pub with THAT as your job title (and on your business cards)

@ Darren Tuffs

"thing is they dont have a clue whats going to happen for all we know we could be up to our necks in beaver before too long."

That'll be easily cured the way one got rid of them the first time around: you eat them.

Only an Excuse.

Backwoods beaver

Although we're keeping them out in the fringes I don't think there's been enough consideration of what migrating urban beaver might precipitate.

Tux, 'cos he's on the march too.
