Swimming Beaver

Most beavers come out at night and keep busy but this cute beaver decided swimming was the plan of action for the day.

A beaver loves swimming as this is where they spend a majority of their time, especially as they busily find pieces of twigs and logs to build their dams. Catching this beaver peacefully swimming in the water in the daylight hours is a rarity and he had no problem posing for the camera.
