  • This is Timber, one of three beaver kits born here at Northwest Track on the 5th of May.

  • So, we're really happy to have our Cinco de Mayo beaver babies. Timber was just getting a brief checkup today.

  • He weighs just a little over one kilogram, which is the same as about 2.2 pounds.

  • His mom actually weighs 44 pounds. So, when Timber's an adult, depending on whether he's a male or female, he'll reach over 44 pounds, probably. This is a radiograph, and this also shows how he was born with an almost right angle bend in his tail.

  • This is either a deformed bone in his tailbones, or this could be two of his tailbones together.

  • But that shows you right where the tail took a bend. I suspect this won't cause any problems in his normal activities.

  • Yeah, I don't really care, boy.
