Fellow Canadian here - I only ever saw one quite far from beaver activity, apparently a young male striking out on his own. Otherwise I gather they hide in their dens when humans are about.
I'm reminded of those Canadian Humorists the Arrogant worms' excellent prose:
"you might think a rodent/
is a pretty lame choice/
for a national animal, but/
don't you listen to that voice
Cuz all them birds and predators/
Just take from the land/
but the beaver/
Always gives a dam"

- dreen 4y agoDo be careful around beavers though. Their teeth are REALLY strong, I know at least one example personally of a human killed by a beaver, it bit through a critical vein in his leg and the guy bled to death. To be fair the guy was a hunter so I guess karma.
- kennend3 4y agoI think your point should be expanded a bit. Do not interact with wild animals in general. They are not pets, they are not domesticated and are unpredictable. They can and will bite, often shockingly hard.
