My dad at one time had ~20 beavers in Ketchikan. A beaver on floats would 100% be on my lottery winnings shopping list. Here is a link to one of his old promotional videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayW9RORkiYA(Sorry the color is so bad it was transferred from old 16mm film)

Dan Yes, almost looks like he/she got distracted at the worst possible time, but even that’s hard to believe. Nursing the floats off the water isn’t normally something you do while texting your buddies.
