 One hungry beaver in northern Minnesota has demonstrated it has pretty expensive taste. Lake Country Power posted pictures to Facebook Wednesday showing how the beaver had damaged utility poles near Walker. The picture shows that it had been chomped nearly through at the base. The energy company said it's only seen beavers do this a handful of times in the last decade. They also reported that the average cost to replace a power pole is close to $3,000. When the replacement pole goes up, crews plan to wrap the base of the pole in metal to keep any hungry beavers away.
