A Chicago environmental nonprofit, Urban Rivers, is asking for help in naming a "remarkably rotund" beaver that lives on the bank of the Chicago River. The "extra spherical" rodent is believed to be pregnant, and the group's volunteer coordinator Stephen Meyer says that his team hasn't been able to weigh her, but she can be heard on camera waddling across the dock and cracking ice beneath her paws, according to @BlockClubCh. Here are some of the names suggested by people on Reddit. Which gets your vote? Tell us in the comments if you have a better idea, and submit it to Urban Rivers at the second link.

@CultureDesk @BlockClubCh@flipboard.com Delete all the footage and go with Heavyfoot, then tell everyone that the area has its own cryptid. 😁
