CHELMSFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - A baby beaver at a wildlife rescue center in Massachusetts went viral for her dam-building this week.
Nibi the kit is living at the Newhouse Wildlife Rescue Center in Chelmsford, where she doesn’t seem to get along with another female kit named Zibi.
When Zibi was moved to another enclosure, workers said Nibi took the opportunity and started damming up the door her nemesis might use.
“As soon as she went out the door, Nibi started damming up the door, she was just done. She did not want Zibi back,” said Jane Newhouse, president and CEO of Newhouse Wildlife Rescue. “It’s a difficult situation to try and get these two to be friends when Nibi, she’s just not working with us.”
The rescue organization added that dam building is instinctual behavior for baby beavers.
For Nibi to be released back into the wild, she’ll need to be able to bond with another beaver.
