DNR de Maryland cierra senderos tras mordedura de castor a niña de 10 años

El Departamento de Recursos Naturales de Maryland informó que el 14 de agosto un castor mordió a una niña de 10 años que remaba en canoa en el parque Seneca Creek, lo que obligó a cerrar cerca de una milla de sendero mientras las autoridades buscaban al animal. En julio, dos castores en el parque Cunningham Falls fueron identificados como portadores de rabia después de atacar a visitantes, incluido un pescador de 19 años, lo que provocó el cierre del acceso al lago y una intensa búsqueda de los animales. Los biólogos estatales dijeron que el riesgo de rabia en el lago Hunting Creek sigue bajo revisión y no se ha fijado una fecha para reabrir la zona de baño.
