A crazed beaver attacked two girls as they swam in a lake leaving them with serious injuries.
Eight-year-old Annabella Radnovich and her 11-year-old sister, Alyssa, were playing with their cousins at Lake Anna in Virginia's Spotsylvania County when the 65 pound animal bit and scratched their legs.
The sisters were rushed to Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center after the attack just before noon on Sunday.Mother Wendy Radnovich said the animal bit Alyssa first before moving onto her sister
She told q13FOX.com: 'She had felt something touch her leg and she thought it was one of her cousins messing with her.
'And she stopped and looked and pushed it off of her and started running out of the water.'
Annabella also thought it was someone in her family fooling around until she felt the animal's claws digging into her legs.
Describing the terrifying experience she said: 'It started swimming around me, and then I tried to get out again and it bit my leg.'
Annabella told how as soon as everyone realised what was going on they all rushed out of the water.
The girls' grandmother treated their wounds at the scene until an ambulance arrived.
Doctors were yesterday contemplating operating on Annabella who had suffered the more serious injuries. Alyssa required stitches.
She added: 'The pain was the most pain I've ever been through.
'When I was in the ambulance truck, they said they've heard of a skunk bite, but not a beaver. Ever.'
Her mother added: 'Because it went through the muscle tissue, they didn't want to do surgery.
'The main concern is the infection and they're testing the beaver for rabies now.'
The girls are not believed to have been given injections against the disease at this stage.Wendy, who said she would no longer be bringing her children to the lake to swim, told how the girls' uncle returned to the scene and shot the beaver.
According to Marine Biologists, beaver attacks on humans are extremely rare and when they do happen, it is usually because the animal is rabid.

Beaver probably thought they were trying to steal two baby beavers

Hope the girls heal and recover okay.
