Who Goes There?
North American Beaver
I'd been watching this beaver for about 15 minutes as s/he repeatedly fetched sticks and took them back to the same spot to eat. Uncharacteristically, the beaver eventually looked up and sniffed the air ... my clue that something was different. I looked behind me to see someone else quietly approaching, although still at quite a distance. The beaver knew the other person was there long before I did. :o)
The beaver resumed eating as we two humans quietly watched from a distance.
