Urban Rivers which is a not for profit organization is asking the citizens of Chicago to name a female beaver who is expectant was seen on a Reddit site walking around the Windy City. The reason that the officials of Urban Rivers are concerned about the size of the beaver is that in their view, either is beaver is expecting a kit soon or that the mom beaver has yet to give birth to a kit. Some of the names of the female beaver include names of celebrities based om actress Sigourney Weaver, former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot among other names. The same officials with Urban Rivers are wondering how the female beaver has not been eaten by coyotes in the area where she has been hunting for food. Link is upi.com/8661740087239 via @upi

Wow, I saw a beaver down by the lake one time. I swear it was the size of a walrus.

Yes, any coyote could outrun a beaver, but I guess the beaver always remains close to a burrow, that it can run into quickly, if it sees a coyote prowling around.
