A baby beaver rescued from a John Day parking lot in May has joined the High Desert Museum in Bend. The museum has wildlife staff who care for rescued Pacific Northwest animals that can’t be released back into the wild – due to injuries or other issues that would make their reintroduction unsafe. The museum “cares for more than 120 animals, from otters to raptors,” according to a press release. Baby beavers are referred to as ‘kits.’ The new baby beaver was found in a parking lot at just a few weeks old. She was “very weak and dehydrated, weighing just 1.4 pounds,” the press release says. “Wildlife staff spent the next several months working to formulate an appropriate diet and nurse the kit back to health.” Follow the link in our bio to read more. #oregon #bend #beaver
