Judge rules Nibi the beaver can stay with her rescue family for now: 'Fallen in love'

Nibi the beaver, beloved social media star, gets to stay with her rescue family after a judge granted a temporary restraining order in her favor on Tuesday.

"In wildlife rehabilitation, when you're raising a baby mammal of any kind, you want them to be with others of their own kind because otherwise they're getting used to just people, and that's not good for them," Newhouse said.MassWildlife argued that the Newhouse team did not do its job, saying that "the role of licensed wildlife rehabilitators is to care for sick and injured wildlife so that animals can be released back into the wild as soon as possible. Newhouse Wildlife Rescue was informed in June that the beaver is healthy and must be returned to the wild, in accordance with their permit and state regulations."Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey sounded off on Tuesday to the media on "protecting wildlife." Jasmine is a writer at Fox News Digital and a military spouse based in New Orleans.

"I know from my own team about Nibi the beaver, and I can tell you this: We're going to do everything we can to protect Nibi, and I appreciate those who care for wildlife – especially wildlife when they've been injured and rescued – and I appreciate the folks at MassWildlife, too, whose job is to make sure we're looking after and protecting wildlife," said Healey."I shouldn't be working against the state to try and save an animal, especially a keystone species. We should all be working together. We should be on the same team," Newhouse told WBZ.Healey, Newhouse Wildlife Rescue and MassWildlife did not return Fox News Digital's requests for comment.
