This must be payback for us harvesting their delicious anal glands all those years ago. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/03/26/293406191/does-beaver-t

  Well ackshually... > Beaver food flavoring doesn't actually come from the animal's anal gland but from another organ next to it, called the castor sac. I still wouldn't try it, myself.

    The nuance takes some of the humor out of the notion of eating beaver ass, though. That weighty tail hides a delectable treat.

      Humor is still there. You're eating beaver back sac.

  I wonder how was it first discovered how beaver anal glands taste like.

    Is it merely coincidence that a beaver is slang for female genetalia?

      I don't think it's too complex, considering various furry animals names have been used. Rabbit (coney/cunny), cat (pussy).

    Reading the article in the comment you just replied to, the delicious scent is apparent from simply sniffing near the beaver's rear end. I imagine it wasn't hard to find.
