The beaver isn't a bad choice.  (Though the furry little bastards can be incredibly destructive if you have a stand of sugar maples near territory they claim).

And while emus can't walk backwards, they sure can kick in that direction.  I've got a friend out in Idaho with some impressive scars on his chest (he's lucky the bird didn't hit him a few inches lower, there would have been entrails tangled in its claws).

The porcupine is already taken, it's sort of political, another movement I'm part of, rather more important to me than my computer hobbies.  http://freestateproject.org/
