Beaver

In Estonia I had the best view that I have ever had of a European Beaver. It was swimming around in a drainage channel just before dusk. My companions and I were able to watch it from our vehicle and this allowed a close approach. Beavers are common in the Baltic States and increasing. Their signs are everyone... felled trees, lodges, dams, tracks... Here is a photo of a well gnawed tree.
