Why the Beaver’s Important
Not too long ago a coyote was spotted at Woodlawn Cemetery. Turkeys patrol the woods of Van Cortlandt Park. Hawks soar over Tracey Towers. But no animal sighting has stirred as much national - and international - buzz as Jose the beaver, who has taken up residence in the Bronx River near the Bronx Zoo. Google the little guy and you'll find there have been over 600,000 news items and almost 1,200 blogs mentioning the beaver.
