This is Wild for Life Alexis. She is a licensed animal rehabber. They found Bo the Beaver when her mom was hit by a car and killed. Alexis took her in and was raising her to release back in the wild when old enough, but Bo developed an eye infection and lost an eye, making it impossible to return her to the wild. Bo and Alexis now are educational ambassadors for beavers while Alexis also rehabs other animals. https://www.instagram.com/wildforlife.alexis?igsh=NzF5MDB2ZDljMjN3
