A beaver in Chicago is making headlines for one notable accomplishment: being “remarkably rotund.”
Environmental nonprofit Urban Rivers posted video of the plus-size rodent on Reddit earlier this week with the title, “This huge Southside beaver needs a name.”
Accompanying black-and-white footage shows the orb-like, fur-covered creature padding around in the snow.
Urban Rivers provided more detail on the big beaver’s activities and whereabouts in a follow-up comment, noting that the beaver as been seen “at the intersection of the south, southwest and west sides of the city,” where she “lives, eats, and knocks down trees.”
The nonprofit suspects the beaver isn’t simply gluttonous. Urban Rivers beaver researcher Sammie Clark clarified to local news station WGN-TV that the beaver’s sex isn’t known for sure ― though she’s hopeful it’s an expectant mother.
