[ANSTHRLD] heraldic beavers

[Eldwin Nightowl]

Thanks very much for posting this; that looks very helpful to me.  If I have someone who wants to use a heraldic beaver, I will definitely send them there.
 
However, you know how if someone likes 49 things and doesn't like 1 they'll talk about the one?  I read the opening sentence and I don't understand it.  It looks like maybe two sentences got combined into one or some such.  "Beavers were often pictured in medieval bestiaries as dog-like animals, sought by hunters for the medicinal value of their testicles and prone, as a means of self-preservation, to biting them off and running away without them."

I researched heraldic beavers for someone a while back, and found the topic interesting enough to warrant a brief article <http://coblaith.net/Heraldry/Beavers/default.html>.  As always, comments are welcomed and I encourage you to pass on the URL to anyone you think might use it.
