This makes me reconsider any wild animal shot opportunity.

To get bitten, he had to get up in the beaver's face. That was a stupid thing to do. Stupidity deserves what it gets.

Taking pictures of wildlife is why God invented telephoto lenses.

From that story, it's pretty clear the beavers have enough of our messing about in their habitat.

Well, you know, the beaver was minding its own business when this dude shoves a camera lens in its face. I'd be kinda irritated myself.

Besides, it was probably a Nikon. C'mon! There are limits!
