In a April 3 post on its Facebook page<\/a>, Austin Wildlife Rescue said it received the beaver after Austin Animal Services dropped the baby off.<\/p>\n Officials say the officers had searched the area for any signs of a mother, siblings or other beavers before bringing it to AWR.<\/p>\n What they’re saying:<\/p>\n AWR says that it is a true rarity and an extra special surprise to be taking care of a beaver.<\/p>\n The kit was weak and cold upon intake and AWR staff helped warm it up.<\/p>\n “After a few tiny beaver tantrums, we finally were able to get the kit to suckle and take the much needed formula. Rehabbing beavers involves a lot of opinions and stubbornness from the beaver side\u2026 think of it like a toddler that doesn\u2019t like anything you offer but also asks for that exact same thing,” AWR said in its post.<\/p>\n AWR says beavers can have up to four kits at a time and that this one may have gotten washed out of its den during the recent heavy rainstorm.<\/p>\n The Source: Information from Austin Wildlife Rescue.<\/p>\n Wild Nature<\/a>Austin<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article AUSTIN, Texas – Austin Wildlife Rescue says it is taking care of a baby beaver that was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,223,2220,394,216,393,2795],"class_list":{"0":"post-238462","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-austin","8":"tag-austin","9":"tag-austin-headlines","10":"tag-austin-news","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-science","13":"tag-travis-county","14":"tag-tx","15":"tag-us","16":"tag-wild-nature"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/665937721_1344400924401940_1217199512874611199_n.jpg\")
