Leave it to Beaver

I was trying to fill up some spare time before getting on the ship, so researched day trips you could do from Ushuaia. 


I thought I might do a tour to see the beavers, as I know absolutely nothing about them, except that they are better builders of dams than human engineers. However, I then found out that beavers are considered vermin here in Tierra del Fuego. I would have been doing the equivalent of a tour to see the cane toads in Queensland, or the rats in South Georgia!  Yikes! 


Having said that, tourist-wise, beavers are a big deal down here.
