I was in Columbia MO for work yesterday and right near downtown/I-70 my coworkers and I watched a single solitary beaver walk across the street in front of us.
I noticed it and was like....Is that a raccoon? A cat? An otter? Then we all started watching it and realized it was gosh darned beaver. There were no creeks/rivers etc anywhere close that we could tell, seemed like a beaver just popped out of an alley, crossed the street into some brush and kept going.
