A US Court Didn't Send Nibi, a Beaver Used to Living with People, Back to the Wild (3 Photos + 1 Video)
It turned out that the cutest beaver doesn't want to communicate with other beavers. She's more interested in living with people at the wildlife center. 
The beaver was found by Newhouse Wildlife Rescue staff when she was still a baby. The beaver was lying on the side of the road and slowly dying. Specialists nursed the baby back to health and named her Nibi. Since then, the beaver has lived at the wildlife center and hasn't denied herself anything. The staff loved her, and new residents were happy to meet her. Nibi was a local celebrity, but the law intervened, NYP writes. 
By Massachusetts law, wild animals are meant to live in the wild. They should be released there when they recover. That's usually the case, but Nibi decided otherwise. The beaver showed absolutely no interest in the wild. She avoided other beavers, made no attempt to escape, and settled in perfectly at the wildlife center. However, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife demanded that she be returned to the wild.
Then the Founder of Newhouse Wildlife Rescue went to court. Concerned residents even put together a petition to keep Nibi at the center, which collected 25 thousand signatures. After that, the governor of Massachusetts declared that the beaver had conquered her. The woman advocated leaving Nibi with people.
The court sided with Nibi. She remained in the wildlife center. However, experts noted that as soon as the beaver begins to show interest in the wild, she will be released.
