A hardworking beaver charmed pedestrians on an Idaho footpath recently, blocking traffic as it lumbered across a sidewalk toting a large branch in its teeth.
Footage taken on November 18 by Levi Jones shows the beaver dragging the leafy limb across the Boise River Greenbelt path toward the river, as people laugh and give right of way to the furry rodent.
Jones told Storyful he was leaving a basketball game at Boise State University and was headed to his car when he spotted the beaver at work.
Jones wrote on Instagram, where he posted the footage: “Boise City Beaver! Doing work even with a lot of people watching.”
Beavers are mainly nocturnal animals, according to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute.
