According to the OPP, one little critter was spotted walking on Highway 407 in Whitby at around 9:00 a.m. and clearly, it was in no rush.

680 News reported that police closed off an entire lane of traffic to protect the wandering wood-chomper.

Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told Narcity that the animal was rescued and relocated with the help of animal services. 

Oddly enough, this isn't the first time beavers have made headlines this week. In fact, one shut down a subway station entrance just yesterday.
