The Gray Foxes of Silicon Valley
The Guadalupe-Coyote Resource Conservation District is committed to preserving the Natural Resources of Santa Clara County. This video on the Gray Fox showcases the unique behavior of the Gray Fox and gives the public a few tips on coexisting with wildlife. Predators like the Gray Fox can be a boon to your neighborhood's rodent control, if proper measures are taken to ensure humans and animals can coexist with little conflict. This video is the first in a series of videos on Silicon Valley Wildlife, look for the next episode "Return of the Beavers" this summer.

The Return of California's Golden Beaver
มุมมอง 59K9 ปีที่แล้ว
This short documentary, "The Return of California's Beavers", was produced, By Greg Kerekez for the Guadalupe-Coyote Resource Conservation District, to shine light on Beavers positive impacts to the environment, the miss treatment of beavers in California, and what we can do to Co-exist with Beavers. Beavers are returning to California streams they haven't inhabited since the Gold Rush. By 1850...
Find a way to coexist with beavers and many other species of animals and plants… then we might find ourselves in a batter state of affairs in our own lives.
Beavers should be protected just as we protect the Bald Eagle but yet the beaver helped man kind for 1000 s of years
California government officials are stupid and especially the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
It is good to see beaver back in the high country. They have been using Comstock swim through live cage traps to catch and relocate beaver in restoration projects in South Dakota, Wyoming and Utah so far.
I wish they let us relocate beaver in California! That has to change!
We have a lot of these in the Texas town I live in. They’re beautiful.

Hahaha a family moved in hehehe
How cute they are😊

I saw golden beaver a a gentlemens' club in Vegas
Beavers prevent forest fires.
They are the sweetest animals, one greeted and hung out with me for hours up in the mountains following me around with no apparent fear, I fed it some Turkey scraps and could have probably taken it home without any issue. Of course I didn’t but they seem to be very inquisitive and gentle animals.
Some people do keep them as pets. There's a channel here on TH-cam called Fox Perfect, that features one such grey fox. They are very sweet creatures indeed!
I prefer the scarlet beaver.
Do you recommend the trail cam at 2:04? Your footage seems quite nice.
nice music
did they have to have endless environmental studies before releasing the beavers?
Yes, indeed. I come from CA and people wanted to live too close to the rivers and then hate beavers for doing their thing. You have to fight those rich assholes like mad to get natural ideas through.
Beavers can save the planet. I was in Martinez last week and looked for beavers in the Alhambra Creek, saw none. Our family loves beavers
Need beavers to reduce California wildfires damage. They save water🦫🦫🦫🦫
so informative
love love the gray fox
Neat stuff. They are returning beaver to the high country in Wyoming where they were two centuries ago. Can't see how they will help salmon where the dams keep them from going up river. Salmon can't go over a dam. Nice pleistocene skull by the way.
I think the beavers use the tributaries mainly and this slows down the flow in the main river. That creates a wider stream that meanders and allows the salmon and other species to find breeding areas further up-river. They won't dam very wide flowing rivers., when there are smaller ones to make a home. I gather fish can simply jump over the dams too.
@@SWRural-fk2ub You are correct in that they don't block large rivers. When they do take on a large creek the dams often blow out with spring run off. I guess there is a point where the head waters of a river are small enough to get blocked but I suppose at that point it may not matter.
Maine is at the Northern range of the Grey Fox, but they do come to feed in our yard almost every night. We do see Red Foxes during the day here, but the Greys seem to be strictly a nocturnal species.
Not here. During breeding season, they are active in the evening before dark...and probably in the early morning: crepuscular.
I'm gonna ask my local fire department to look into this. We have this wide creek bed that is never filled, and we recently had a fire, so there's a lot of scorched trees. The beavers could help clear these dead trees and increase water retention in that area.
Great idea!
If they don't want to bring in Beavers, then you can suggest BDA's to them (Beaver Dam Analogs). They do much the same as Beavers, though not quite as well over the long term. But they would, if done right, make that creek year round, and a likely natural fire break. That's the thing forestry forgot. Beavers are good, as they can stop a wildfire in it's tracks, and if every stream, trickle and creek had beavers, raging inferno fires like the ones in Cali recently wouldn't be able to happen, and forest fires would be smaller, more likely to naturally break down and go out, due to Beavers and the work they do. We just have to learn how to live with them, not against them. Lets not also talk about the massive biodiversity explosions Beavers and their dams encourage.
TY FOR YOUR WORK💪😃👍
I don’t know about beavers in cities but they should be in nature
Beavers are trying its best to save wildlife, the environment and humanity. Let it be.
are all you people brainwashed to have background noise not natural just noise bad music noise.
I saw three of these last night in Sacramento. We have coyotes in the area so at first I thought that's what these were except for the tail and small heads. That promoted me to search YT for more info. That led me to this video. They made the same sounds and have the same graceful walk. Thank you for a great video
Make it illegal to kill them!
"People" can be 'such' fools and narrow minded... for people to think that 'beavers' were not native to California!
I beg to differ also, I’ve found a pair in Bear Creek btwn Siskiyou and Shasta Counties, in downtown Fall River Mills and Chico California, if anyone is keeping track,
I’ve found a pair in upper Bear Creek on the border of Siskiyou and Shasta Counties also a pair in downtown Fall River Mills if anyone is keeping track.
Great video.
Ohhhhh BS non native ? Thoz critters hav been round forever id like to kno wut bonhead imbecile came up with the Beaver as being non native my pet peeve is that thez poor critters wer hunted to extinction n need to be reintroduced to all rivers n tributaries in CA especially the Russian River n its water shed focusing on Austin Creek.
Lo
Not facetiously at all… looking forward to grizzly reintroduction in California.
Beavers store water! Beavers allow the land to hold water longer, by doing this water is allowed to soak into the ground at a higher rate.
1,000 year old beaver dam. Kinda' beats our schlocky dams that lasted a few months or years, such as Johnstown, PA; St. Francis, Saugus, California; Viajont, Piave River, Italy; and Teton Dam, Idaho.
Leave it to Justin Beaver
Beavers for the win! Go BEAVERS!
you sound like you are on the verge of screaming over that hominy loop pardner. Maybe use the music more selectively and ride that volume a bit (try using compression on it so it sounds more back back background
I've been called this before but had no idea they were actually saying "wow, you are an ecocentric keystone species that supports an entire ecosystem"
Calling her beaver she chew on this wood😂
It's incredible they didn't become extinct
Beavers arrived in the river our suburban DE home backs in. Their dam is in the marsh but we see the adults…the male is now very large!…cruising around the river. They were kind enough to remove a problem tree from our neighbor’s backyard. We are on the migration route fir many birds and all kinds of wildlife. I continue to hope in vain fir otters, which isn’t realistic, but would be amazing.
Dear Beavers, I want to give you guys the highest award in civil engineering, hydrology, environmental sciences and many more. Thank you for your services to all life.
you're welcome
Beavers prevent drought reduce flooding create new habitats for other wildlife filter water ,
Our gray fox steal peanuts if they find a dropped one by a squirrel, and they get along peacefully with our opossums. I have some pretty cute and hilarious video clips of these beautiful animals.
You damn demoncraps better respect the beaver down south. Also we aren't Indians ya butt we're first Nations.
( If you really, REALLY,
Yes, I was trying to find a river local to me where I could view nature's engineers in action and found instead an absolute property owner war on these animals in modern times, sad.
