An expert on Canadian mammals says the beaver has leucism — a genetic condition that causes a loss of pigmentation. Leucistic beavers are so rare the Canadian Museum of Nature has a pelt in its collection that's more than a century old.

RIP Perth's marshes with all the people that will attempt to go take pictures of the beaver

We should bleach all the beavers around Kenora.
