And not sure about this, but MIT is also right on the Charles River, which probably has a few beavers along it.
I was going to say mink since I saw my first one last summer up at the lake, but he was much smaller. And muskratats are small too. Had a pesky one in my yard one year (brook at the end of my property) eating all of my tulip bulbs. Poor feller got stuck in the chain link fence between mine and my neighbors yard. He was gone the next day, so something ate him. I wasn't that sad, I loved those flowers and have never had much luck growing more since.
I did see what I think was a dead otter on the side of a road near a pond one day. He was on the big side, not a beaver that's for sure. Looked more like a small seal.
