A warning from the Baltimore County Health Department following last weekend's attacks on two swimmers by a rabid beaver. A 14-year-old boy and an adult woman were attacked north of Loch Raven Dam while swimming in the reservoir.
"The boy was rescued by his mother. The female swimmer was rescued by her husband and a good Samaritan. In this instance, the 50-pound beaver was killed with a rock. It tested positive for rabies," Rabies Coordinator Gary Thompson tells Richard Sher.
The Baltimore County Health Department reminds you to avoid contact with wildlife if possible, keep your pets up to date on their rabies shots and remember that swimming is not allowed in any drinking water reservoirs

So the beaver was killed for swimming in a drinking water reservoir. How harsh.

I grew up on that reservoir. Swimming was not allowed but we all did it growing up and skipping high school. The cool place to swim was "the cliffs". Lots of good memories but none of any beavers - well at least not the animal type :D

At nite in Parker, the kids hang out offshore on our anchored boat listening to their Ipods on the boats sound system.
Beavers swim up all nite long and hang out. Real friendly.
Kids feed them crackers.
No problems yet.
