The Swedish Beaver Invasion

Swedish police were called to handle a wayward beaver for the second time in recent months yesterday morning after one of the industrious rodents made its way into a homeowner's garage.

Whether the beaver took a wrong turn somewhere remains a mystery, but the curious animal's journey nevertheless ended in a garage on Grindstugevägen in Nässjö in central Sweden.

Police have since contacted local hunters and animal consultants who plan to "return the beaver to freedom" later on Monday.

Back in April, police near Köping in central Sweden were called after an ambulance reported seeing a beaver lumbering down Glasgatan, the local Arboga Tidning newspaper reported.

Rather than put the animal in the back of the patrol car, however, police decided instead to simply point the beaver in the right direction.
