A very well-fed beaver brought traffic to a halt in Mill Bay.
It’s not every day that a beaver halts traffic — or that drivers patiently wait for an animal to cross a major highway. “It was just so nice. It was like … so Canadian, you know?” said Chris Vogl who was driving along Mill Bay Road on Sunday at about 10:30 a.m. when he spotted more than 20 vehicles at a standstill, with some people out of their vehicles. “And then I can see this big fat beaver walking out,” he said.
Everyone was trying to shoo the large beaver across the road and out of harm’s way, but it scampered onto the Trans-Canada Highway. “He wandered across the road and then he was wandering in the first lane of the highway. So, eventually, everyone stopped. It was just beautiful to see, you know, nobody was trying to like scoot around him or anything.” “Then this one fella on a motorbike… pulled up eight or 10 feet away from it,” said Vogl. “He was revving the engine there I guess, to scare him.” “Then [the beaver] seemed to be merrily on his way,” says Vogl.
This was the first time Vogl had seen a beaver in the area and says other people were capturing the moment, too.
