About Filbert

Stumptown Fil — aka, Filbert — is a North American beaver who is the principal prognosticator and unofficial branch manager for the Oregon Zoo in Portland. Filbert was born at the zoo in 2011 and has quickly gained popularity since. “Groundhogs like Punxsutawney Phil are fine for their part of the country,” said Christina Parr, a keeper in the zoo’s North America section. “Here in the Northwest, though, we are beaver believers.”
