A beaver... in the desert? The story of how a visitor made an El Paso wetlands park home.

The El Paso Matters Podcast by Diego Mendoza-Moyers

Episode notes

In early 2019, a trail camera captured a beaver sitting at the Rio Bosque wetlands park at dawn. It wasn't the first time the park's managers had seen signs of a beaver at the park -- a kind of sanctuary for wildlife in El Paso's urban landscape -- but it's the first time a beaver made the park it's home and began developing beaver dams and changing the park's landscape. El Paso Matters reporter Priscilla Totiyapungprasert joins the podcast to share her experience reporting on El Paso's celebrity beaver. You can read Priscilla's reporting at elpasomatters.org.
