Those Disney animals are so unrealistic, they're scarier than the real deal. But thank goodness you got "out of the woods" in terms of risk. What a relief, and congratulations, you got the 2nd half of your life back!
Disney has a unique take on nature. The visitor's center at Table Rock Lake had a theater that was looping a Disney nature film on beavers. For those of you outside of North America, I will give a quick description of beavers:
The beaver is an aquatic fresh-water mammal with a large, flat tail. It is the largest rodent in North America.
This film NEVER mentioned that beavers are rodents! It mentioned that they have continuously growing incisor teeth, one of the key characteristics of rodents. It told about how beavers were good neighbors and great little furry engineers who build dams and nests for their families. It showed lots of footage of beavers being cute and adorable. But, at the risk of repeating myself, it never used the "R" word to describe them!
And I oughta know, 'cause I saw that film at least three times! (We were camping, it was really hot, the kids were crabby and the visitors center was air conditioned!)
