Even beavers teach their little ones to cross the road safely.
NOW reader Chris Parlow sent in these photos of what appears to be a mother beaver guiding her young across the road, using the marked crossing in south Burnaby, not far from the Fraser River.
"These rare never-before-seen photos reveal proof that beavers don't jaywalk," Parlow wrote. "Beaver tales have often been told about momma training her kits at a young age to use crosswalks. This evidence clearly reveals this is no longer just a tale but evidence such training occurs."
