AP: Beaver attacks Oregon men who climbed on dam

BEND, Ore. (AP) _ A beaver protecting its dam attacked two central Oregon men, who fell into a river and got taken to the hospital.

Sgt. William Bailey of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office says the men were exploring Thursday night when they climbed onto a beaver dam and got attacked by the animal protecting its turf.

Bailey says their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

One man quickly climbed out the Deschutes River near Lava Island Falls and sought help for his friend whose clothing got caught on some logs.

I would be fishing close to their lodge. A beaver lodge is like the perfect bass/crappie cover. One is struck by the sheer size of an adult beaver. They can be huge!
