About The Beaver

The beaver fable, or the story of the hunted beaver, tells of how, when hunted, the beaver will chew off his own testicles, or tail, and leave them behind to distract his pursuers. It is based on the idea that, in ancient times, the beaver was hunted for its testicles, which it was thought had medicinal qualities. The story that the animal would gnaw these off to save itself when hunted was preserved by some ancient Greek naturalists and perpetuated into the Middle Ages. It also appeared as a Greek fable ascribed to Aesop and is numbered 118 in the Perry Index.
