A trail camera belonging to animal researcher Bill Leikam captured video of a juvenile beaver scurrying on a trail near Matadero Creek, first on Wednesday and then again on Friday.

"Off of that camera, I saw the young beaver walking in that direction. I thought that little beaver is really exploring a whole lot to be out of the water all the way down here."
Leikam says the juvenile likely belongs to an adult pair he's known about for a while -- he actually spotted one swimming in the creek last week -- but didn't get a photo of it.
