About a month after I moved to El Paso, I was driving to work down Country Club road. It was about 3:30 in the morning and suddenly something caught my attention on the other side of the road. I slow down, pass a truck with a bunch of cages in the bed of it, and behind the truck is a guy, chasing a BEAVER!

I've brought this up a few times on the air, and every time I get called a liar. Almost no one believes that I saw a beaver that morning. I've looked it up and you can check the sources if you'd like.

  • Here's another source.

And now for the ultimate source! I received an email from Hugo, who works for the Animal Services Division of El Paso with pictures of beavers from El Paso. And he said it's about 3-6 times a year they impound beavers. Here are some pics courtesy of Hugo.
