Mountain Beaver Pictures!Mountain beaver are not easy to photograph to say the least. I have spent many hours in the field and only see the animal on rare occasions. Most of the time, there isn't a chance to get your camera out in time much less take a picture. Most photos of mt. beaver have been taken of animals caught in live traps or held in captivity. Some of the pictures below were taken by one of the many people that have contacted me over the last few years to learn more about this unusual animal. Several other pictures here were taken by the late mammalogist, Lloyd Ingles, who shared them with me. These pictures are rather unusual for several reasons which may be more obvious once you've had a chance to look at them! Mountain Beaver in the open & up close Very Uncommon Piebald Mt. Beaver!
