The beavers at Cunningham Falls State Park in Frederick County, Maryland, are having a very strange couple of weeks.
Maryland wildlife officials have closed more areas around Hunting Creek Lake after a 19-year-old fisherman was bitten on the ankle by a beaver Wednesday morning near the South Beach Day Use Area.
The fisherman drove himself to Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown for treatment.
Natural Resources Police later caught and euthanized the beaver, which is being tested for rabies. Results are expected later this week.
