Celebrity 'diva' beaver caught in dramatic court case over her future

[douglas9]

Nibi, a furry female beaver taken in by wildlife rescuers, has become a household name in Boston — and now her future is set to be determined in a court case that has made national headlines and garnered the attention of the state governor.

The nocturnal mammal was found orphaned in 2022 by a roadside. At the time, she was just a week old, weighing one pound, said Newhouse Wildlife Rescue in Chelmsford, Mass., which took her in.

Since then, she has flourished there, and the rescue center’s founder, Jane Newhouse, jokes Nibi is “spoiled rotten” and “a diva.”

“I love her, and … many people have fallen in love with Nibi,” Newhouse said in a video posted on Facebook this week.
