Nice aristo, cheers mattrom.

@ chrise; aristo parsed it himself at post # 10. Just in case, BB as in BB gun (given in Chambers).

Goodness, what a nice surprise. Thanks for the honor, mattrom, and for the clips. I've always been fascinated by beavers- such brilliant engineers; I think they could build a suspension bridge if the need arose. The latter clip reminded me of the charming story in "The Natural History of Selborne", about the sow that repeatedly escapes to a neighboring farm to get herself knocked up to save her own skin, although I suppose she could have simply liked to have an occasional fling.

Sorry to disappoint, chrise.

Good one Aristo . I had thought of wobble myself and then saw your splendid effort.
Thanks Mattrom and obviously, as a canadian, I enjoyed the clip. They are a joy to watch.

Are there any beavers in the UK these days?
