    Beavers can make life a little complicated for humans, but beaver dams help recharge the water tabled and help restore /create wetland that many birds, fish, animals and plants need. beaver dams also help small stream flow all year instead of drying up in late summer.

    • @thomasslock8793
      @thomasslock8793 2 года назад +4

      How does a stream "flow" when it is damned? Beavers are very destructive in farmland. Also beaver ponds are stagnant and although they foster fish for awhile the warmer water on the upstream side is a breeding ground for algae which inevitably chokes oxygen out of the water. I've literally caught over 300 beavers in my lifetime. They've got their place, but a stream that runs thru a corn field isn't it.

      The dam and pond behind it provides a barrier for predators who might go after their lodge. Wolverines have been known to open up a beaver lodge and wolves will frequently patrol a beaver pond looking for stragglers who leave the safety of the pond. The water is their source of protection.

    Amazing how these trail cams pick this up. They are very determined little critters. Well they’re not little.

    amazing video!! these canadian species beavers are expert dam fixers, and if you watch closely they poo on the dam after sealing it to mark their territory just like llamas and alpacas,,,amazing similarities exist...very good video, Steve, proud of you!!!!!

    Did I miss the beginning of the restoration? I didn't see where the dam built up from the hole initially
