The buck-toothed menace

If you’re going fishing in Georgia, be very careful around the snakes, alligators, spiders and…..BEAVERS.

According to WSBTV.com, a fisherman on Lake Sidney Lanier is facing rabies shots after being attacked by a giagantic beaver on Sunday, August 1.

The man, Russ McTindal, was fishing on the bank when, “the large beaver suddenly came at him.”

In spite of hitting the large rodent on the head with his fishing pole, the buck-toothed menace continued it’s attack, seriously biting McTindal on the arm and leg.  The arm wound was so bad that it required a tourniquet to staunch the bleeding.

Of course, the story wouldn’t be complete without an ironic comment from the victim: “This was one of the biggest beavers I’ve ever seen.”

We’ll let the reader fill in his or her own punchline….
