THE fisherman wanted his photo shot with a beaver. The beaver had other ideas: It attacked the 60-year-old man with razor-sharp teeth, slicing an artery and causing him to bleed to death.
It was the most serious in a string of attacks in Belarus, as the rodents have turned aggressive when confronted.
The fisherman was driving with friends toward the Shestakovskoye lake, west of the capital, Minsk, when he spotted the beaver along the side of the road and stopped the car. As he tried to grab the animal, it bit him several times.
Once hunted nearly to extinction in Europe, beavers have made a comeback. In Belarus, the population has tripled in the past decade to an estimated 80,000.
