Can't believe people used to hunt them for their glands. Imagine smelling so dope that even other species want to duck you.
I think I love muskrats now
That thumbnail tho
Officially my favorite animal now
“Sorry mista inforad camra, bot i see no contribution of yours to our comunity lodge, bye bye”
I needed this after reading about the ‘carbon bombs’ in the guardian today. #climatecrisis
Until the tree falls on the bigfella ….
That was awesome… 🤩🤩🤩💖🙏
I adore beavers
This video is so peaceful.. sounds and sights of nature, david attenborough narrating in a boat rowing down tranquil waters.. ahhh
Tolle Doku. Aber Biber sind Nachtaktiv, wieso wurden alle Aufnahmen am Tag gemacht? Ich habe bei uns noch nie einen am Tag gesehen, leider..
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.)
Beaver to tree: I like ur cut G!
The ever-smallest leak: "This is totally unacceptable."
Not too sure how it's posible to swim above the surface, but other than that, great show old chap.
A beaver bite would be detrimental I feel like
All this just to survive the winter.
They work cheap.
Here in New Hampshire I go on many hikes and always are astounded when I come across our many beaver dams. Only once did I see them working. Was a place I hadn't been in 2 years. Completely different. EIGHT beavers I counted busy extending their already massive dam. Its mesmerizing and relaxing to watch.
Engineering with beavers- building dams
I hate that they fake scenes in nature documentaries. They didnt show the beaver in the frame when the tree fell down. The crew probably just cut it down and filmed it, so they didn’t have to wait days for the beaver to cut it down.
China should hire them
How many hours do they work….
I wish I can get his voice for my navigation.
Wait the beavers actually EAT the wooden logs?
Didn’t think I’d learn that Beavers are landlords today
I had no idea beavers were so awesome. Imaging gathering some buddies together and terraforming the land with nothing but your bare hands and teeth, and then on your lunch break, you eat a chunk of wood.
Mr and Mrs Beaver of Narnia.😂
Eh yo skrats where’s the rent?
The Beaver who cover the Infrared Camera is: Okay Sir, filming is over. You didn't pay for your rent properly.
HAHAHA! <3 Love the way he share knowledge to us. 🙂
Good
Good sea doggos
smarter than human, a key species in ecology
Brilliant creatures. This was fascinating. You just hear beaver and think damn. But there’s so much more.
after this video these animals have to be my favourite. They clean up the eco system, they're smart engineers and they're cute
I love beavers 😄💐☀️
All animals are smart 🌝!
Nothing like the calming voice☺️
The muskrats paying rent is the vest part
