"The fisherman, who has not been named at the request of his family, was driving with friends toward the Shestakovskoye lake, west of the capital, Minsk, when he spotted the beaver along the side of the road and stopped the car. As he tried to grab the animal, it bit him several times. One of the bites hit a major artery in the leg, according to Sulim."
What a stupid thing to do. I wonder if the victims family includes any offspring. If not, he's in the running for this year's Darwin Award. Shit, beavers cut down trees with those teeth. What the fuck was this guy thinking? If those teeth hit the femoral artery, you'd bleed to death in less than 3 minutes, possibly in as little as 30 seconds. Back in October 2010, a hiker on the Olympic Peninsula was killed by a mountain goat that gored him in the thigh and perforated his femoral artery. These are wild animals, not stuffed animals or team mascots.
