Ok
I love your videos, man!!
done and done
Are ya winning dad? Can you feel the klomb?
I love the video, thank you for it.
“Not only do beavers have to chew the crap out of their food, they have to chew the food out of their crap.”
I’m done! That’s the best line ever!
@RedDot WHAT'S HERE? YOUR DAD? DONT BE SO HOPEFUL
Omg I know. That was an absolutely spectacular line!
Yeah, that was my favorite line too! 😂
Chew the food out of their wood, chew the crap out of their food, chew the wood out of their crap. The circle of beave
idk, I liked "Oh Jerry, that's not science, that's niche pornography!"
Zefrank's mom must have lived quite a life. She always has such specific advice.
Mom- "This is Zefrank, he's one of the cutest little beebee I ever did see!!"

@@David_T damn i thought that was a joke but i searched it up and its true

@@coneheaddenton4191 So incredibly well said. =)
The part about the young horse not being “that healthy, it’s flesh is missing” absolutely broke me 🤣
"But this old horse won't be able to eat for much longer." [While referring to a Iiteral skull
Yes I had to stop and go back over that bit 3 times I was laughing so hard
Same
I hope you are able to recover from being broken. I recently went through a rough breakup that left me quite broken and depressed. I wish you the best and I hope you have a nice day!
@@oscarmoreno65 , I am autistic, so get ready for an overly detailed explanation because I don't know if you're joking or not.
In the context of the initial comment, the phrase "broke me" is slang that essentially means "made me laugh very hard."
If you imagine a person doing work or homework while listening to the video, they might say that the video "broke them" if it makes them laugh so hard that they can't focus on their task anymore.
There are a lot of violent metaphors currently in use in English.
For example, saying that a performer "killed" or "slayed" just means they did really well.
I think that "It's cozy in their butt. Sorry- it's cozy in there, but..." Might be my favorite running joke on the channel. Like it's all brilliantly written, but that just gets an involuntary cackle out of me every single time.
It gets me every single time! 🤣
I like figuring out if it's a butt problem or just punctuation .
You mean it's all brilliantly written butt, that gets an involuntary cackle out of you.
And now it's come full circle in "animal awards".
Butt scientists.
That and showing a healthy animal... except it's not healthy... Because it's dead.
“The hardest thing our body makes - hush now.”
Perfect delivery with that one. Thanks for yet another entertaining and educational video!
When it comes to talking about beavers, and wood, avoiding the double entendres and dirty jokes can be tricky 😀❤️😀🦫

2:20 "anyone can have a taste for wood". 💀💀💀
4:10 Random Fun Fact: Ever heard of the saying, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!"? It's because you can tell their age by their teeth and when horses were given as gifts, if the recipient checked the teeth it was deemed as rude because it's a gift so it shouldn't matter how old the horse is.
Huh... Neat. 🤔
It's a different story altogether if it's a horse you bought and the seller was lying about the age for an excuse to sell it for more.
I never understood that idiom. Thank you for the random fun fact.

That baby beaver yawn was so adorable.
I have decided I quite like beavers.
They're so cute they make me cry.
Welcome to the beaver fan club.
i came to the comments purely to see if anyone was gonna mention that baby beaver yawning while snuggling with its parents
so how would you like your beaver, raw with some ass-juice or just cooked like the other rodents we nomnom?
yeah that was like 10/10 review in the question of how cozy their little home was.
"the hardest thing our bodies make...shush now" 😂
I know I was rolling 🤣🤣
I'm a biologist and former zookeeper and I always share True Facts videos with anyone curious about animals and the natural world because it's hilarious, well researched, factually correct and Ze Frank delivers these perfectly. Also, shoutout to Jerry!

@@zachjohnson9391 just signal these as spam, they are a cancer.
I'm an engineer and former engineer and I share these videos because he says "behbeh" and makes butt and fart jokes. And dick jokes. And poop jokes.

Don't be nice to Jerry, it'll only encourage him!
“And their first lodges are like the first apartment that kids get after college… You know there is a lava lamp a futon and a half eaten bagel, and the futon is so gross you choose to sit on the bagel, and he’s all like ‘where’s my bagel’ and then you’ve got explaining to do”

"But when, how does the beaver and why does it beave?" Has become my immediate reaction every time I hear beaver. Sometimes I forget the word is funny to people for other reasons
I'm 72 and have been watching animal documentary all my life. I have learned so much from your videos that no one else bothers to tell. So many things I've wondered about that you have answered. Your sense of humour keeps me watching. Keep it up. Your genius.
They’ve actually reintroduced beavers into parts of Essex here in the UK and now there are wild beavers as they mated.
They’ve done more to help with flooding in the few years they’ve been there than the local council has in years.
Jackie Weaver will hear of this!
I mean the beavers are building dams since their lives depend on it, so that makes sense. The local council is just sort of there in comparison.
Make sure to Vote Beaver at your next Council election.
'Leave it to Beaver', as they say.
Rodents are way smarter than Politicians
I saw a tweet once that said “Do beavers see a river running and just think ‘ABSOLUTELY NOT’” 😂 And learning that they want to stop the sound of running water, I now have confirmation.
I remeber that tweet! good memory haha
Charlotte Dobre used that tweet in her funny social media compilation she posted just a few days ago. Wow, that's quite a coincidence.
Apparently playing the sound of running water near them causes them to block speakers too.
I've seen this as well!
@@Kucero I genuinely saw it on Twitter months ago and I don't know who that is, but if you want to make this a conspiracy, sure.
Just got to take a second and put all humor aside: I think zefrank has done more to educate people about animals than most textbooks. It is like tricking your brain into wanting to learn more rather than getting tired of it. Freaking genius.
He's the best educator about animals since Steve Irwin
I always loved nature shows, but hated how they would make me fall asleep. These are a form of perfection.
I find that I like these much more than the nature shows I used to watch as a kid. Nowadays I have rabbits, and they don't like the suspenseful orchestral music or the piercing cries of predators. They are quite happy to let ZeFrank narrate all the details traditional documentaries think would be too boring or esoteric for the audience. It's a win all around.
i mean, i do sometimes put on a playlist of True Facts when i am *trying* to fall asleep, but that's more about ZeFrank's relaxing, sonorous voice than it is about the content
I can't get over the fact that these are actually educational, these videos are funny, have jokes around every corner, and puns that come straight out of a dad convention and they still teach you things you never knew about the life on our planet. Keep up the good work Zefrank.
Beavers and wood lend themselves naturally to some funny innuendo.
@just i c e shut up bot
Yeah like the "Beaver swallowing wood" joke
@@mikesvideosofbeavers So true.
_Nice beavers deserve some seriously good wood._
Read that where ever your mind want to take you ;-))...
Or "Beavers like it wet"
I first came upon the trapped skeleton of a beaver in the Canadian wilderness in 1973. The trap was chained near the base of a tree and was old and rusted, and the head of the skeleton had these two MASSIVE teeth growing all the way back into the skull, and parts of them were orange-tinted. Both cool and a little strange for a twelve-year-old kid from the Illinois suburbs.
Could you tell what it was at the time?
@@MoonShadowWolfe Sure. The front of the skull made it obvious. It's just that I wasn't prepared for those two GIANT teeth curving all the way into the back of the sides of the skull. Also, a couple of our counsellors were like, "Oh, a beaver," so that locked it. It really was the coolest thing ever, back then.
Fir a second I thought you meant the skeleton was strange because it belonged to a twelve year old kid, that it was strange to you, a twelve year old kid
@@saifmohamed2967But I opened with "I first came upon the trapped skeleton of a beaver..."
@@adamchurvis1 yeah I know, still thought you said that the skeleton was from a twelve year old
My heart almost died of cuteness when the little beaver showed up.
"Jerry, that's not science. That's niche pornography." ー I would argue that Science _is_ niche pornography. And ZeFrank is a wonderful curator.
"Whatever tickles your knowledge bone"
I agree
You ever eat out a beavers butt? It emits these goo that tastes like vanilla... very tasty.
I lol'd at that line 😂😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wish you talked about the Beaver wars. When two separate packs meet, they slap their tails like a war cry. They go at each other terrifyingly.
tales-tails. My bad lol
that, was not the Beaver wars I thought you were leading too
@Solid Brick there's no beaving at all in that garbage.
That might be too much for a casual viewer.
To anyone who thinks beavers are harmless, look it up. Those teeth are fucked.
@@salt-emoji Its literally just 4 iron daggers in their mouth
"How does a beaver, and why does it beave?" has to be the best line written. Ever.
Beavers are definately one the animals I respect the most.. they've taken trauma and survival and changed their world and ours with it. OCD exists for a reason. AMAZING
Jerry was accidentally correct this time. As someone who has participated in the peer review process, I can confirm that it sometimes resembles having your paper urinated on.
😂😂😂😂 Agreed!
But in a good way right?

Everyone in the peer review process gets extremely pissed for sure.
This is the first time I'm ever watching one of these right when it goes up. It's so exciting, for some reason.

"He couldn't eat anymore because he lost his appetite" and "not only do beavers have to chew the crap out of their food, they have to chew the food out of their crap" are some of the best lines I've ever heard
"Because it has lost its appetite" was the best set up and delivery I have ever heard. Thanks for the hearty chuckle

I would even say "thank you for showering us with your golden gifts of comedy"
It's not _that_ niche though
What is science but a form of niche porn
It was also the entirety of the rejection response to my doctoral thesis.
"On land the beaver isn't exactly graceful,
but in water it IS exactly graceful."
I know there were plenty of funnier jokes in this one, but to me this is peek True Facts.

It’s the subtle semantic jokes like that which put the cherry on top of ZeFrank’s videos *chefs kiss*
"peak"
As one who quees, I appreciate the linguistics discussion alongside the always superlative animal revelations!
Dude, you are fantastic! Thanks a lot for never failing to cheering me up and making me learn something too!
I really liked this one on The Beaver. I live in rural Alberta where there are plenty of dams. Once I had to stop my car and wait for this rather large Beaver as it dragged a tree across the road. All I could think when watching this beaver was I would struggle if I had to carry that same tree. The tree must have been at least 10 feet long and had a 6 inch girth. The beaver dragged effortlessly across the road and down into the marsh on the other side to its rather sizeable lodge. They are just cool animals. Plus baby beavers are adorable.
Never stop doing these Mr Frank. Your videos are wonderful.
Hmm I gotta get out exploring more I’ve only ever seen a Bever once in Alberta, can’t say I’ve seen any dams.
I live in some prime marshlands, in rural Alberta. While I have seen lodges, screwed up trees, and I think a beaver even dammed up the creek going through the woods, I haven't seen one drag a tree! Pretty crazy. Also, I fucking despise mosquitos.
Wild Rose. Represent ✊. 😋
Not to detract from the coolness of beavers but the beaver wasn't carrying it, it was dragging it. Which is different and depending on the object easier or harder.
@UCM2KmjCoaDP3wbPP_4oS5MA I'm pretending he made it for all of us Canadians, because beavers are kinda awesome. I've even seen a Mama beaver swimming with kits in the Don River in Toronto! They are everywhere!
In germany the beaver-butt-juice is called „Bibergeil“. The direct translation would be „beaverhorny“. Love it! Be bold, be brave, but most important: Beave

Best thing I've ever heard... "why does it beave" it has been coined by none other than zefrank!
It's extra cool because it goes along the "peer review" joke.
Beavers gotta beave ❤️🦫❤️
I kept expecting a Leave It To Beaver joke. Beaver's brother Wally always called him "Beav".
Zefrank: "so beavers took matters into their own little creepy hands-"
Beaver: pauses video to look at hands, looks back at video and mutters," wtf man"
Their hands are creepy, but they have super sweet fingernails.
their hands are perfect. once, one held my finger as it died bc my neighbor shot it; its grip was firm but, at the same time, gentle... like a kneading cat
Whoever narrated that video is genius. I could listen to them all day.
Great job
Can not believe you've never heard of ZeFrank1. He's famous. See Sad Cat Diaries then all the True Facts vids, then Dear Kitten etc etc. I wish I was in your position where I had a whole wealth of ZeFrank videos to discover. Welcome to a world of hilarity my friend

I always called fake vanilla "Beaver butt juice" it really threw my friends for a loop and I love confusing people.
I love that you brought up the vanilla thing.
😆😂🤣
Beaver castoreum may still be used sometimes in scented candles, but it hasn't been used in food since we learned to synthesize vanillin. Vanillin is the flavor molecule present in real vanilla so it isn't any different. The spread of the "fun fact" that fake vanilla comes from beavers likely may have been encouraged by Madagascar's vanilla industry, which has a sordid and complicated history and is very invested in the image of being the only "real" source of a plant that used to be native to Mexico.
"Do it shid? Do it fard?"
-beaver during mating season
Nearly all vanilla products are made with beaver bum juice. Unless it specifically claims to be vanilla bean extract, it is from a beaver's arse. That includes cappuccinos, ice-cream, also strawberry ice-cream. Unless you want to be slurping on beaver bum juice, you need to be very discerning.
@@Ceruleanst LOL> That's what they tell you. Marketing gurus are always a step ahead of the public.
We have beavers 🦫 in our creek. At night we used to shine a flashlight back there to catch a glimpse of them. If we walk back there sometimes we would hear a loud “wack” sound when they slap their tails against the water. They chew the bark off of the trees, wait for the tree to die, then cut it down. I never minded because it’s their creek more than mine. They live at the creek. I live in the house.
It's awesome that you're so respectful of your neighbours.
That's how it is right now, but wait until the beavers uprise. Soon your house will be their new dam.

Hey Zefrank, love the longer form content thanks so much!
My conservation biology professor showed us a video from this channel last semester and I have been hooked ever since! I LOVE biology and learning about animals but I also love when it’s accessible to an audience that maybe doesn’t care or know a lot about the technicalities.
This Chanel is the perfect mix of science and hilarious jokes😂👏🏼
I was literally in tears when she showed us in class 😂
Another fun fact: according to medieval folklore, castoreum was believed to come from the beaver's testicles. So, when pursued by hunters, the beaver was said to bite its own balls off and throw them away (you can find this cringey little account in the medieval Bestiaries). This story was probably used to justify a false derivation for the word 'castration' ('castor' = Latin for beaver).
Beaver facts just get better and better. Thank you.
Also: beavers were considered a fish in the Middle Ages.

I was sent back to the Narnia movie with the beaver couple watching this. And I think beavers are cuter now.
Did you know they’re a “keystone” animal? Meaning if they become endangered in an area (deer eating all their trees), other animals will suffer and start to become endangered too. They’re important!
beavers were essential to the final restoration of yellowstone, and were so impactful the Mississippi moved

Exactly! They're so vital to our ecosystem it's not even funny. The over-hunting of beavers back in the day absolutely devastated our lands.

I did just sign up for Curiosity Stream. I like your shows more than theirs, but I will enjoy what they offer. Love your patter, great sense of humor and rhythm. And more than one fact, impressive.
Informative and packed with innuendo... 👍
Beavers absolutely controls the direction the tree falls. Plenty of beavers where I live, and 95% of the trees they fell falls towards the water. I´ve thousands of trees like that. Respect to the little critters for having better control of felling than I have.
Might be a surprise to you, though I do live near pretty prime Beaver Territory... I've found 3 so far that were apparently killed by their own trees... AND recent enough to "harvest" as it were... so a modest but useful little boon when I'm out and about near the end of summer (usually) or early winter.
ANYWAYS... It just goes to show, even the "pro's" can have bad days or miscalculations... at least once in a while. ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 at least once in a lifetime, you might say.
@@Holykraut 🥀
Killed me
I bet if we chewed through trees we'd start to be able to precisely control the fall, too. Get a loooooot more sensory information with teeth lips and mouth than you do with a chainsaw. Maybe the wood gets more dense/compressed as there is less wood to support the tree and maybe the beaver can feel that difference, including the ever so subtle difference between one side and the other to indicate which way the tree is currently leaning.
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 Every species is going to have Trump supporters who die to trees they cut down.
The fact that they spend time teaching new beavers how to beave makes me happy.
But we didn't learn how "beavers do."
Now it sounds like a Good Mythical Morning show - "Does it Beav?"
your voice is calming, and your beaver facts were great to know. you got yourself a new subscriber my guy.
I love your sigh when you amuse yourself.
The things your mother told you when you were young are scary and funny as hell. Great video as always.
P.S my fav one was "If you want some calcium, Eat the milkman"
No, Jerry! Don't take it literally. Oh wait, y-you're not e-eating him...
In which vid is that mentioned?
Pray tell.

“But when? How does the beaver? And why does it beave?”
I hope I have the opportunity to say this sentence at least once in my life. I live in Oregon, which IS the Beaver State! 💖 So cool to learn more about these interesting creatures!
Make a custom license plate frame that says this
How does the beaver?

And why does it beave?
Which beach are you at on your pfp?
My pup (in my pfp) & I like Pacific City!
It's definitely not the closest one to me but it's not too far away, like Seaside & Astoria!
Over 2 hours to Seaside & almost 3 to Astoria!
We love the beach!
We wanna go check out that newly discovered spanish shipwreck the "Manila galleon."
I think it's in Nehalem.
Gotta get more details first.
☮️💜
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 my pfp is of me on a beach in California. 💖 I was born in SoCal (by the beach) and my family moved to Oregon when I was 5. I live in Portland now, so I’m about 2 hours from seaside or cannon beach. The beach is my fave place in the world!! Nothing like the sand and the sea. I love Cannon Beach, but I usually try to visit beaches that are less touristy. I’m a big fan of Ecola State Park (beautiful trees leading up to the beach) or Oswald West. There are quite a few beaches I have yet to discover in Oregon- I usually head towards Cannon Beach and then pick another beach near by. 💖
Yes, for all the heaver this stat is about I rarely see them. I need to get around the lakes more, too much rivering.
@@jacobbaumgardner3406 We have plenty around in E. Oregon.
Omg! I didn't realize how much I enjoyed your videos!
Glad you're still producing these wonderfully entertaining and educational masterpieces! Thanks!

I still want to see a "True Facts about the horseshoe crab"
Did you know those little bastards are older than dinosaurs and never bothered to evolve? How arrogant..
Ooohhhh.
Because they're well-suited for their environment, and no mutation has arisen that would make it even better.
lol, yeah. Also Triops. Similar, but they instead evolved some super weird things, like how the eggs work (only a small % of them hatch each season and they are more likely to hatch after bieng super cold then warming back up, only hatching in pure water, etc.), or being hermaphrodites
It should be noted that so-called "living fossils" like horshoe crabs, coelocanths, and especially crocodiles have definitely evolved, but their overall body plan has just remained relatively consistent. These animals actually make it really easy to show evolutionary processes, since you can literally just play a game of "spot the difference" between a fossil and a live one.
Crocodiles have evolved a lot and tried out some really bizarre things, like the ones that had hooves and could sprint on land. That sounds terrifying, but they actually kinda sucked at it, because they got out-competed into extinction the second something else tried for the same niche. This happened multiple times, by the way.
🤣🤣
Oh, Ze, there should be a True Facts about you. You are just incredible! Thank you for all of your work and presentations.😊
AMAZING video! Great job making it.
"Those flies are waiting for the cafeteria to open." That made me LOL at work. My place of work is full of really bland, boring people so an LOL caused quite a kerfuffle.
That's why people say zefrank is "NSFW" ;)
My granddaughter has a learning disability. We watch your videos together and she learns so much about animals. Her teachers are amazed at what she knows. Thank you for your amazingly informative yet humorous vids. You have a gift.

I found ZeFrank 10 years ago, with the echidnas, and then I lost him...now, I'm so glad to have found him in good health, still doing great videos! Lol
Ty for telling us about Mike's videos of Beavers. I've subbed & look forward to watching videos of Beavers.
In the 17th and 18th century, beavers ate a LOT of willow trees in the US. Doctors learned that the butt sacs had a concentration of salycilic acid from the willow. Dried beaver butt sacs were used for headaches - and it worked!
Trippy!!! 🤯
Is that why it's called asspirin?
And beaver butt spray was used for vanilla flavour. I have lots of videos on my channel of beavers spraying their scent on scent piles.
@@mikesvideosofbeavers cool!
@@AisuruMirai 🤣
Wow, prior to today I had no idea how uncomfortable it makes me looking at horse teeth. Thanks Frank!
You work for the foundation and that makes you squeemish?
A gift horse has bad teeth and will die unless you feed it Dr. Pepper and Kraft Mac.
@@jaredknapp8886 Didn't know my wife was a horse.
It's weird seeing you on the videos I watch now haha
@@MoonProds It’s weird being an admin in your server. : )
I Can See How 12:30 Is The Most Replayed!
As always this video is an addition to the awesome videos before it! Thank you Ze for sharing your knowledge!
entertaining and educational video

It well enough to know the out come of z
nice
Hi
Nice
I’ve always wanted to spend a day as a beaver just to see what it’s like inside the lodge. It sounds very cozy for a beaver.
The chronicles of Narnia
@@Frosty_tha_Snowman Because of that movie I always wanted to live a beaver's life
You must want to experience eating your own poop too 😂
Even having to slather yourself in butt oils, lol?
@@TheOneAndOnIy I never knew that fact and this is why I watch zefrank
I just discovered your channel and I was listening at work while drinking tea and no Jerry it's not peer like piss part made me ngl spill my tea on me because of laughter while all my coworkers watched so thank you for that...worth it
Beavers also store their leftovers under water in front of the entrance to their den (upstream) so you could equate their leak-fixing to them going 'OH SHIT THE FRIDGE'
“Why does it beave?” 😂
It’s great to learn a whole lot while also laughing so much it’s hard to breathe 👍🏼
Ok, that bebe beave was way too cute when it yawned.
Also, go easy on Jerry, it's been hard for him ever since the oppih incident.
The baby beaver's yawn toward the end was just so beyond precious. Like the video is really cool and informative, but baby!!!!
That's... awesome. In the traditional sense. Beavers inspire such awe in me.
Thank you, Ze!
"That's not science, that's niche pornography." Absolute favorite sentence ever.
11:43 oh my god he said it the normal way…
This is one of the best ze frank videos ever. This and ostriches. These 2 are worth watching 300 times at least. I've watched at least 10 times each already and I don't think I'll stop any time soon.
"Chew the crap out of their food, they have to chew the food out of their crap." This line broke me, lmao.
I just took an entomology class, and was surprised to see our professor pull up your army ant video. I’m not complaining but was surprised to see this video full of adult jokes be used in a college class. Great teacher and great video! Love this channel haha!
I had a history professor once who frequently used clips from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" in his lectures. It was awesome. Shoutout to professors with a sense of humor who like to make learning fun.
Well, technically, most college students are legal adults. There is no comment, however, on how mature they are.
Or the professors teaching them.
I'm not complaining butt... Sorry, I'm not complaining, but!
@@kareningram6093
To teach what exactly?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I had him for a couple of classes, and this was ten years ago, so I don't remember exactly. I think it might have been a clip of Napoleon for Military History.
I haven't left out loud like that for years. Thank you
Excellent work guys

"It's very cozy in their butt- sorry
It's very cozy in there, but"
