Martinez Beaver Dies After Rescue By Bystander

MARTINEZ (CBS 5 / AP) ― An ailing beaver rescued Thursday from Alhambra Creek in Martinez died overnight at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek.

The animal appeared disoriented when a bystander jumped in the creek to rescue him.

The beaver and -- a few others in his brood -- showed up about a year ago and built a pretty impressive dam across a creek in downtown Martinez.

City officials considered having the beavers destroyed over concerns that their dam could cause a repeat of winter floods. They elected to work around the beavers to appease local animal lovers.
