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.
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.
He's so smart. He knows to put the support at the back to secure the mud. Also fascinating to see how the beaver uses his body weight to compact the structure, making it stronger.
how many people know that beavers start building a dam whenever they hear water running it's like pushing their button. They go mad when they hear water running.
Can you imagine the first Beaver to ever build a Dam?.. He must’ve been sitting by the pond for years watching the water slowly trickle down stream, then one day he gets a “lightbulb moment”, *HEY KIDS, YO, KIDS, Grab those sticks, go get your brothers & sisters and grab all those sticks.* *HEY HONEY, COME GIMME A HAND WITH THIS LOG.* Now that guy is a true pioneer.

Go Kevin, Go Kevin, Go Kevin, you not only bought yourself two quality cameras, but it seemed, from observations of your panoramic high shot, you also bought yourself a drone . . . Love your posts, thanks, mate
He wasn’t celebrating when he got out. He was listening to see how quiet it was from above the water where sounds travel. They really hate the sound of running water. Some say it just makes them build. But his annoyance in the water in the beginning proves otherwise
The reason they seem so agitated even when water isnt flowing through the hole you made is they listen for flowing water and dont really stop till its silenced
Thanks Kevin, great video! Beavers are the greatest engineers! I was kinda bummed when you busted the dam, but then I was like, "Oh they got it under control" 😂 I like the part where that one beaver does a victory dance on that big log 🪵
Beavers are key in creating humid zones which in turn create a food chain, biodiversity’s and enables water to penetrate the soil, hence mitigating droughts!
I once had a home inspection done because outside was always waterlogged, a beaver turned up & smiled & said you need more trees, then continued to lick his lips. I barked at him & told him to log off
These smart little guys are a trip. I've been watching a lot of animal behavior videos lately and the intelligence some of these animals display is unbelievable. You would think as a species, we humans would treat them better, yeah? Nope☹️ Wishful thinking.😐
We have 5-6 beaver colonies on our property and very healthy populations all around us on the public lands. Beavers for the most part live pretty well unless they flood roads or other infrastructure.
Living in the concrete jungle that is Manhattan, the only rodents in action I've seen are those filthy gigantic sewer rats dragging cold half-eaten slices of pizza up and down the subway staircases. (It's "work" to them nonetheless. LOL) This video was unbelievably refreshing to watch. Nicely done!
Amazing footage. As an Australian, for years I thought beaver dams were just something from cartoons, we’ve got nothing like that down here. Well except for wombats and their incredible Opera Houses.
@@KevinOutdoors oh ok! It caught them real good! Ole beavers seem to work around the trail camera I use and not set it off lol I call em houdini beavers cuz they build dams and don't set it off! Lol I got the campark t45a
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 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!!!!!

How can you dislike beavers working. Not possible.
Yes, let's hear it for the working beavers!
If they’re flooding your land and destroying your property it’s easy to dislike them.
Fascinating to watch! They sure know how they like it.
Thanks Erik, they do seem to have a preference for how every stick should go.
Wow, I've never seen beavers working ! Great footage!
Thank you very much!
The construction workers of the wild
I enjoyed this video way more than I thought I would. The narration is great.
Much appreciated. My first time doing that kind of thing.
Thank you Kevin - great footage. I literally spent hours watching beavers when I hiked Isle Royale (Michigan) in May. They are amazing engineers!
Thanks April, Isle Royale is a great place to hike.
It’s crazy how we learn to take care of the planet by following animals. Such an awesome video.
Thanks so much.
In Maine it is illegal to damage a beaver dam without permission from state authorities.
Thanks Kevin, good thing I don't live in Maine!
I can just imagine going to the authorities. “Yes… that’s right, I want permission to vandalize a beaver dam.”
As well it should.

Poor beaver. Could have had a relaxing evening but now this 😂
LOL, yes I am sure they had other plans.

Yeah, it is so interesting how they survey the situation then get to work.
That beaver needs a job at Boeing. Great engineering skills.
Beavers are so cute and so useful for the ecosystem. Really cool
Yes they are! Thanks!
I started dying laughing when he said “these sticks seem to be in he wrong place” then the beaver started re arranging shit😂
Nobody was gonna let me know I put he instead of the

Thanks Rick!
Such a beautiful animal. So smart.
And busy.

The ones beaver is like "Damn! My dam!!" 😂 I'll show myself out.
I haven't seen a better video with beavers building a dam.
Thanks so much.
Hooman: breaks dam
Beaver: NOOOOOOOOOO MY HOME!!!!!!!!
They can grow really large . I have seen a one so big that I couldn’t believe my eyes . They can bring down big trees as well.
They do. Older ones can be as large as 4 feet long and 70lb.
Work order has been issued ✅
LOL
Wow! Thank you for this video! It was great to watch the beavers doing the work! I gave them all Scottish names and dialog!
That is awesome!

something about watching a craftsman ply his/her trade. BEAVERS ROCK.

Glad you like them!
Oh Man, don't disturb the beavors! They're so important. Great wel done job!
You got that right!
That was incredible to watch. Busy little beaver ...
not little
They do grow to a respectable size.
Water: _flows_
Beavers: and I took that personally
Yup
Let’s chop a whole in the roof of Kevin’s house so we can watch him rebuild.
Well that's a little drastic. You know beaver dams wash out frequently on their own. This is what beavers do.
A clean Beaver always gets more wood!
This is a fabulous documentary!! Great work, thank you so much//
Glad you enjoyed it!
lockdown has brought me here tbh but I love the video and I love the beavers
Thanks!
Someone must instruct the beavers how to put long sticks into the outflow, and then fill the intake till it plugs >:)
Mr.Savage they got it figured out. No permits, no inspections, just beaver engineering.
they sure know their stuff
They sure do!
Great footage! I enjoyed watching this. They are quick to make repairs...........Take care, Bluefin.

So great….tearing down something nature built to watch nature rebuild it. Smart.
'Tearing down' is a bit extreme. I made a small breach much like what happens every time it rains.
