> A perplexed beaver who accidentally herded 150 head of cattle across a farm in Canada last week has become an online sensation.  
> “How do we move 150 heifers in Canada?” wrote rancher Adrienne Ivey, who filmed the unusual encounter in Saskatchewan, in a Facebook post that’s attracted over 100,000 views. “Now I just need a better trained beaver…”  
> She told local radio station 980 CJME Monday that the young cows are curious “kind of like teenagers.”  
> The video shows the cows carefully following the beaver. When the rodent moves, they move with it. And when it stops, they stop too ― gathering around, but also keeping a respectful distance.  
> “There was about a three-foot space around him,” Ivey told the CBC. “They didn’t want to get closer than that.”
