    I want to give it a kiss. I wonder if they are soft or kind of wirey

      Now I wanna touch one too. Here’s what I found:

      Beaver fur is a soft luxurious coat that keeps the animal comfortable in all temperatures, on land, and in water. Their fur has two layers. The outer layer consists of coarse, long, glossy guard hairs. The under fur consists of dense, short, fine hairs that together with an oily material provide the waterproof barrier that keeps the beaver’s skin dry in the water.

          I just found out that beavers can be tamed but are not domesticated. So I’m guessing they’re safe to pet but will poop on your carpet…
