Beavers like to slap the water with their tails when disturbed, then swim to the bottom of their pond.

If they are trapped and cannot get away, they are very strong creatures with a huge mouth and huge, very sharp teeth. Between the teeth and the powerful tail, an unarmed man is going to be very injured as a result, and possible killed from blood loss

I once tapped a beaver on the nose in the St. Joe River with my fishing rod. This guy was fascinated with the Mepps spinner lure moving through the water, and followed it right up to within a foot of the rod tip. When I tapped his nose, he swam about 12 feet like lighting away from me, gave the water a mighty slap of his tail, then dove for the bottom. That is not the only time a beaver has followed my lure, but it is the only time I was able to tap one on the nose!
