" They also may attack humans when suffering from rabies or as nocturnal creatures being disoriented and fearful by daytime light."
That seems to me to be a poorly constructed sentence, in addition to seeming little silly. I don't believe beavers are afraid of sunlight. Beeblebrox ( talk) 00:26, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
"The trademark sharp front teeth of both species pose a particular danger, as they are long enough to pass through limbs and cause significant bleeding."
I think this sentence could be improved by removing the passive voice (Both species' trademark sharp front teeth) and changing "pass through limbs" to "puncture." Both of these decrease wordiness and create a clearer meaning. Jackspm10 ( talk) 03:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
