Mass Wildlife and Newhouse Wildlife Rescue were set to face each other in court. Gov. Maura Healey stepped in before the hearing.

Governor Maura Healey issued Nibi a permit allowing the 2-year-old beaver who captured the hearts of people across the country to stay at the rehabilitation where she’s lived most of her life.

Whether a 2-year-old beaver named Nibi gets to stay with the rescuers she has known since she was a baby or must be released into the wild as winter approaches in Massachusetts has ended up in court — and caused such an uproar that even the governor has weighed in.
