    I had 2 ponds in my back yard where beavers lived. When they dammed up the stream to create new ones, they would dig mud out of the hillside with their hands, pack it on to their flat tails, and transport it like they were pulling a trailer. It was the coolest thing to watch!

    Beavers are really incredible animals. They transform landscapes into wetland ecosystems, creating habitat for other species including fish, mammals, waterfowl, songbirds, amphibians, and insects. And help to protect from droughts, improve water quality, and minimize flood risk and mitigate flooding peaks.

      Yeah, when they reintroduced to a bunch of places where they'd been extirpated, the whole ecosystem flourished.
      Same thing when they reintroduced wolves to Yosemite - they thought the wolves would kill everything. Instead, they weeded out weak deer, prevented herds from growing too large and starving themselves to death, and the culling of those herds meant saplings weren't getting decimated, increasing forest cover, and reinforced riverbanks making for healthier flows. There were increased birds, increased small mammals, which increased birds of prey, more seeds got distributed.
      Everyone thought that these were destructive animals, but turns out they have a purpose, like the beaver.

      Seems that way, but not really. Beavers are very likely to be attacked or at least gravely injured when gathering food. If you can be incredibly aware and use your senses to their fullest of potential, then yeah maybe you can be a beaver. If you find yourself with no escape and a 1v1 fight on your hands, may as well pray some human saves you because you are done.

    the fact that they can build dams with nearly perfect thickness and height, store food below the water for winter, and even charge rent to other species by way of fresh bedding and even disposing old bedding, makes beavers unnaturally skilled animals, its already well established that animals are smart, but few animals are capable of engineering in a large scale, preservation of specific food, and the economics of winter seasons, that kind of skill beats even some working class humans today.
    (you wonder why i included preservation of food? because beavers know to preserve green wood instead of dried wood, dried wood will rot in the winter if submerged for long periods, whereas green wood remains soft and supple during this time, this also prevents parasites from leeching into the wood and allows the beavers to access their storage even in the harshest of winters.)

      The really crazy thing is that their dam building skills are completely instinct. The sound of running water apparently is what triggers them to build. People studying beavers have gotten them to build dams over speakers make running water noises.

      Not quite. The tougher, bark-laden wood isn't good for them to eat, and the wood that's got moss and mold on it from years of soaking is as gross to them as months-old food would be to us. What they really want is the tender wood several layers down, freshly cut and still wet with sap and sugars.

      Garrick Utley I know. It’s so dumb how people can think animals just must be so oblivious or blind to things. And beaver dens are notorious for being a friendly place for other animals that visit temporarily or frequently. They’re pretty cool so long as they have room , competition for territory isn’t infringing on their area and as long as they don’t have predators , which they really don’t in their den, they’re fine with it.
