Scajaquada Creek now home to beaver

I don’t think this article meant to be funny. And somehow….

It also managed to contain the worst. sentence. ever. See for yourself:

Unlike Scajaquada Jack, the alligator someone left in the creek in summer 2001, who led animal control officers on a weeklong, well-publicized hunt before his capture, beavers are a native species here, once plentiful before their value as hats made them scarce.

I thought perhaps the story was an April Fool’s Day joke. But I’m thinking not.
