If you think Christmas trees are just for humans, this beaver "shopping" for a festive tree will prove you wrong.

On Monday morning, the animal walked right through the front door of a store in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. He went straight to the Christmas aisle before moving on to the festive decoration section.

St. Mary's County Sheriff Office said they received a call about the destructive customer and was asked to call animal care.

"Corporal Yingling had an interesting call on Monday when the suspect, pictured below, caused property damage to a dollar store in Charlotte Hall.

"The suspect attempted to flee the area but was apprehended by Animal Control... As a law enforcement officer, you just never know what you're next call might be," the sheriff's department said.
