Who was responsible for yelling ”TIMBER!”?

An unfortunate beaver in Vennesla municipality in southern Norway was hit by a tree, and died. – This is a totally unique case, says zoologist.


Leif Hægeland was chopping wood outdoors when he saw the tragic work accident.

– I was chopping wood outdoors when I saw a large birch felled by beavers. When I got a little closer, I saw a beaver lying crushed under the tree.http://www.nrk.no/sorlandet/_-jeg-h...-liv_-men-aldri-noe-sant-som-dette-1.12310194

He has been working as a logger for twenty-five years and tells that what he observed was really something extraordinary.

– I have seen many beavers in my life, but never anything like this, says Hægeland.

– I am not sure what might have happened. Maybe the beaver jumped to the wrong side when the tree fell, another theory is that there were two beavers, and it did not pay attention,

Editor’s Note: Our thoughts go to the beaver’s family and other hard working, uninsured animals out there who risk their lives every day.

:eek:Lucky man :D, unlucky Beaver, freak accident I guess RIP:(
About 3yrs ago we saw a european beaver walking across a frozen lake. I couldn't really believe my eyes as I had no idea that they were here. Have been back many times but I haven't seen one since then. I hope it wasn't the last one.

Well, I guess that beaver didn't have a close shave, it was well and truly waxed...
 
What does a beaver put in his will? I give a dam.
