Hungry beaver eats through utility pole in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Cloverland Electic Cooperative posted a Facebook photo of a rare occurrence in Detour Village in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

A hungry beaver decided to eat through a utility pole as a yummy snack and the photo, posted on Friday, got a lot of attention on social media.

The company's director of operations said he hasn't seen such a thing happen in 30 years. The crew was able to quickly replace the damaged pole, which usually takes about 3-4 hours. While they have replaced many damaged utility poles before, a hungry beaver has never been the reason.

Looks like there's a first time for everything.

Hopefully, Mr. Beaver doesn't come back for dessert.

A disclaimer from Cloverland Electic Cooperative: If you see damaged utility poles (woodpeckers, snow plows or other culprits), report the pole number or location by calling 800-562-4953.
