Presumably, two or three years ago, two Beavers had to mate to produce this Beaver - so where did all they come from? Perhaps there have been dozens of Beavers living in this metro area all the time but were unnoticed.

Broadway was also originally a Native American fur trail - funny to imagine that the beaver and rabbit popular in Manhattan was high enough to support fur trading. The Dutch later took the trail and created it into a road called Bredeweg, which we now know as Broadway.

There's a joke in that story somewhere, but I just can't think of it...
