Or maybe they're wombats. I really can't be sure. But there's a family of them living in Minnehaha Park down south of the old Depot building. Four youngsters and at least one adult. I see them out every couple of days, foraging. Usually they run away before I can get the camera out, but I got lucky today.
Here's one of the youngsters, ambling along:
And another in the shadow of the light pole:
Once it saw me it went and hid under the pole. You can just see it's face peeking out at me:

Hey! I was doing my, uh... normal Google searches and came across your post. What a rip-off!
Looks more like a groundhog (aka gopher) than a beaver.
I was absolutely destroyed by the title of this post. Sheer brilliance. Excellent work.
Also, you are going to get search engine hits for some very interesting searches now.
I happen to think they're woodchucks too, but "Barely Legal Teen Woodchuck" wouldn't attract nearly the same amount of traffic, I'm sure.
Doh...I think I actually saw you on the road the other day. Guess I should have yelled, "Hey, Pete!" to see if it was you. I saw one of these little dudes running around - I didn't realize there was a family.
