Scary story - beavers are large enough that they can survive to infect people (and other critters).
Make sure you spend some time observing a beaver's behavior before deciding to approach, interact with, handle and/or eat it. It may save you a few shots. 
(And as Dusty said - you don't wanna fuck with the hydrophobia.)
