**Chicago Nonprofit Seeks Help Naming ‘Remarkably Rotund’ Beaver**
A Chicago-based nonprofit organization, Friends of the Chicago River, is turning to social media for help in naming a uniquely identifiable beaver that has been spotted in the city.
The beaver, described as “remarkably rotund,” was caught on camera by a resident in the city’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. The photo, which has been widely shared on social media, shows the beaver swimming in a lake, its rounded body clearly visible.
Friends of the Chicago River is now asking the public to submit name suggestions for the beaver, which has become an unlikely celebrity in the city’s wildlife scene.
“We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to engage with the community and get people excited about wildlife in the Chicago River,” said a spokesperson for Friends of the Chicago River. “The name we choose will help us to identify this beaver and track its movements, while also raising awareness about the importance of beavers in our ecosystem.”
The organization has set up a social media campaign, using the hashtag #BeaverName, and is encouraging people to share their suggestions on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Some of the suggested names include “Beav,” “Chubbs,” and “River Ronnie,” but the organization is open to any and all ideas.
The beaver is one of several that have been spotted in Chicago’s waterways in recent years, and is believed to be a resident of the city’s many lakes and rivers.
Friends of the Chicago River is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and sustainability of the Chicago River and its watershed. The organization works with local residents, businesses, and government agencies to promote environmental stewardship and education.
The search for the beaver’s name is just the latest example of the organization’s efforts to engage with the community and promote awareness about the city’s wildlife.

* Share your name suggestions on social media using the hashtag #BeaverName
