The Beaver has just returned to the Bronx! And no, he's not pitching for the Yankees but rather has made himself at home in the Bronx River, within the boundaries of the Bronz Zoo. They have named him "Jos" after Bronx Congressman Jos E. Serrano, who has championed the clean-up of the Bronx River through the securing of $14.5 million worth of federal grants for that purpose.. So far, he appears to be single but has built a large enough lodge for company.
