A peaceful day on the water turned to terror for a father and daughter in Pennsylvania.
Dan Wherley explained to Fox 43 that he and his 7-year-old Layla were kayaking on the Conewago Creek in Adams County when a beaver took to viciously attacking his brand new kayak.
« Get away cause it’s a beaver! » screams Wherley in video he caught on his cell phone. « Get the (expletive) away. Get away you (expletive) »
« I looked, and it was a beaver scratching at it, and I thought ‘wow, that’s pretty cool- a beaver came up to us! It wouldn’t stop, so I used my paddle, tried to hit it to get it away, and it just wouldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop, » explained Wherley.
After realizing the beaver wasn’t going to quit, Wherley fought back with what he had on hand: his paddle.
This prompted the beaver to head for Layla.
« The beaver came up to the kayak, and tried to get in the kayak, » explained Layla.
« I jumped out of my kayak and ran to her. I got to her kayak the same time the beaver did, it climbed up on the back of her kayak, started to, and I had to punch it to get it off, » said Wherley.
The fight eventually went to the shore, where Wherley killed the beaver.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission confirmed the animal had rabies, and since, Wherley’s had to get a number of shots.
« I was just worrying about her getting bit. That would’ve been horrible. I couldn’t imagine, » Wherley said of his daughter.
