Beaver in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Early during my recent visit to Yellowstone National Park, I came upon a traffic jam late in the evening. Usually where there's a traffic jam with people out of their vehicles with cameras, and this year iPads, there's an interesting animal. I slowed to check it out and saw this beaver out of the water feeding on the other side of the small stream. I quickly pulled over, set up my gear, and headed down to water level. The beaver was quite cooperative an kept eating. It was quite dark, so it was a good thing the beaver wasn't moving around too much.
