Wow, I learned about a new animal today!
The name is pretty funny - it's not a beaver and it doesn't really live in the mountains. But it does have several other names (quote from Wikipedia entry):
"Other names include boomer, mountain boomer, ground bear, giant mole, gehalis, sewellel, suwellel, showhurll, showtl, and showte, as well as a number of other Native American terms."
Okay, boomer! 😁
