You can read more about what the Bestiary† from the middle of the 13th Century had to say about beavers at http://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2016/1/castor-canadensis

Off Center & Not Even 
I’ve eaten testicles of calves I’ve castrated (I’ve also castrated humans but I didn’t eat those) and enjoyed them. I wonder what beaver testes taste like.
I can’t say, never had them myself.
Huh. Yikes.
Yikes for sure.
Beautiful pictures of the beaver dam, Tim. Sometimes, I’m tempted to copy some of your pictures to use as wallpaper on my computer. So far, I have resisted temptation. 😀
Btw, I grew up on a farm/ranch. Male calves were always castrated, (one bull, maybe two ruled the roost) making them steers that were later sold. My dad ate what was locally known as “mountain oysters”, but I abstained. Sounded yucky then, sounds yucky now. lol
Thanks, Mary.
Well! Wasn’t expecting this this morning! Oh the things mankind has used for medicinal purposes.
The things they still use for medical purposes. Thanks, Teri.
True but now I think it’s mostly stuff we cannot pronounce and is all artificial.
I was treated with a medicine made using the ovaries of hamsters. Wasn’t cheap either at $8000 a does.
Wow…on multiple levels there.
Dolce Serata 🙂
