I like his "thinking hands"
The way he holds his front paws when he's thinking about his next move.
Excellent 😊
when she snatched that grape away at 1:05 *hello darkness my old friend*
Meghan LR Lol! I'm sorry Huckleberry!
top 5 anime betrayals moment
this channel really needs a tv show or something. youre so engaging and i learn so much from you
I had no idea beaver coats had so many hues. Huckle really is a beauty. 💚
His little hand at 4:06!! OMG so precious! He's like "I'm gunna gwab it! Oh.. nuffin to gwab."
His face in the very next shot was soooo cute!
At 1:03 she pulls away and he reaches into air.
Huckleberry is so cute. I remember when he was a baby ...he got so big. So glad he has a happy home since he cannot be released be released back into the wild. Thanks Jessi!
Huck is one of my faves. I have ataxia as well, although he seems to be dealing with his a lot better than I can say for myself. Maybe I just need more treats and a better trainer. 😉💗
You know, I suspect his tail helps him balance a lot better than a human would under the same conditions! I wouldn't have thought of that if you hadn't commented.
@@sweatpantsprincess3239 Being quadrupedal probably helps, too.
Wow he has really grown to be a big, healthy boy! He’s the cutest! I’ve been following your channel since you adopted Huckleberry. Has he got better with his swimming? It’s so amazing what you do for the animals! Bless you & all of your dedication & hard work ! ❤️😘
Michelle McGraw He seems to be doing quite well with his ataxia most of the time. Every once in awhile he stumbles sideways. He has a bit more trouble with his right eye, often bumping into things with his right cheek or startling away if he's touched on that side because he wasn't expecting it. We still haven't given him a pool of water he can dive in yet, but he's managing wide pools where his feet can just barely touch the bottom. I'm hopeful for his swimming future!
I couldn't afford the $5,000.00 donor level to help build and name a legit swimmin' hole for Huck, but I would've named it Mar-a-Lago.
Man, he‘s HUGE! Will he become an ambassador for your teaching shows? He seems pretty chill!
Treats are not as good as 'splorin.
😅Cute!
Is he fluffy?!?!?
I bet he's fluffy

His fur has to be dense enough to keep the water from reaching the skin when he’s underwater.
Uffdah, he is devastatingly cute. Good work, buddy!
uffdah.
Uffdah indeed!! Wow, I haven't heard anyone say "uffdah" since I lived in Minnesota!!
Looks like you need more Gym Badges.
Matteus Silvestre this is either gonna be the best or the most underrated comment
What badge does she get for this? Cascade badge I guess from Misty :-D

Bidoof is loafing around!
This beaver has blessed my afternoon.
2:10 Click - insert carrot. Ha! - So cute! Huckleberry is one of my favs. His fur is getting extra glossy and more beautiful.
Huckleberry has grown so much. He is adorable❤
Awwww they’re like babies and dogs mixed together. They are so cute! I’m officially obsessed with beavers now
I love him. He's awesome.
wow. Beavers are huge.
And Huckleberry isn't even fully grown yet
absolute unit
second biggest rodents on earh
Huckleberry's little smile in the thumbnail 😍
Huck's gotten so big!
I wish I could show this video to the high school vet camp students I taught yesterday! I talked all about clicker training, and then we clicker trained "target" to the school's teaching beagles!
Training-lots of time and patience :) beavers are one of my favorite animals
I can't believe it's been an entire year. I remember when you were still looking for a name for him. I love Huckleberry so much & you can see the bond is very strong between you two. I hope he keeps improving & doing you & Animals Wonders proud.
Hes grown so big since we saw him last time! Im so proud of him, you guys are clearly taking great care of him 😊
Aww the little guy is getting so big! Good luck with the training!
He’s gotten so big!
I. Love. Beavers!!!!!!! ❤️🇨🇦
This is the absolute cutest animal i know of ❤️
Huckleberry is the best!
Gosh, I haven't seen Huck in a while! He's grown into a beautiful butterball. You're fortunate to have created a bond with this adorable guy!😱😍🤠
I am so happy to have found your channel. 😮 But, I just noticed this video is 4yrs. old. Now...I'm extremely happy!😁 I can subscribe, then watch four years of informative and entertaining videos that I've never seen.🌷Thank you, and I can't wait to watch more! 🌷Your new fan, Pamela “Cony” A.A.A.🐰
What a wonderful comment. I’m so glad I found her channel too. I never knew that Beavers were so adorable!
@@AnAdorableWombat1❦Thank you!!❦ 🌺Have a Beautiful Day🌺
Huckleberry adorable good to see he is doing well good luck training such a unique pal
I want to see him build!
Cuddling him looks like a workout in itself 😄❤️
5:47 omg it me, what a full body snuggle!
Wow he got so big!! But he’s still super adorable!
Huckleberry might be my new favorite animal or tied with Kimosabe. Thanks for sharing!
Loved this video and would love to continue seeing more of the "behind the scenes", real-world training! 😍
Love watching the clicker training session. Would definitely enjoy more videos of seeing the various animals doing their training.
Jessi, you are amazing! I love your positive attitude, your level of patience with the animals, and the fact that you always put them first. Your channel always brightens my day! I really love how you show that each species is unique but each individual also has their own personality. I have goldfish and when I tell people that they have different personalities they often giggle as if I am just convincing myself that they do, but they truly do. I hope that your channel continues to grow and that more people can witness how interesting and animals are and how each animal is an individual!!
Also, I had heard of clicker training before seeing your channel, but I never understood exactly how it worked. The way you explain it in this video and the other training videos makes perfect sense and I can't wait until I can get an animal to clicker train! (college student probs)
Oh Huckleberry is so cute 🤗🤗🤗
Jesse I have LOVED watching lil huckleberry grow up! Thank you so much for these great videos and all the awesome work you all do!

Broadcasting to you now LIVE from jail
He so precious :)
My heart my heart my heart! Huck is adorable 😍
I think he looked quite happy to explore that new environment LOL Proof that he really does trust you towatch put for him, perhaps the public presentations have taught him this.
I know how frustrated I can get when an animal just isn't particularly motivated by food and wants to do their own thing - my German Shepherd wasn't ever into food or toys as an adult dog!
* click * Nice video! Good job!
Paul Paulson 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, he's SO BIG now! Has it really been a year? (He's a juvenile/adolescent now, right? Beavers stay with their parents quite a while iirc.)
The idea of training a beaver is a fascinating one. I'm interested in seeing how you develop your relationship!
he's really pudgy too, isn't he? are beavers that bulky? 40lbs is pretty heavy too!
He's adorable and you're awesome! Thanks for sharing this!
Huckleberry is adorable! 😁
I really want to hug him. He looks so warm and chunky 😍
He's like a big bumbling child. Adorable and mischievous, and of course in need of some training.
Love your vids Jess!!
Bless you great work
Huckleberry exploring his new space just to contradict mom when she said he was shy around new places. LoL
I love you animal videos keep up the work! 😃
Absolutely adorable.
You are really great.
Keep it up!
My cat would learn that in a heartbeat. He's very good at learning things when there's food involved.
So much fun giggling at the beaver. Thanks Jesse!
Heartly thank you so much mam for your great thinking
6:00 "YOU CAN TAKE MY TREATS, BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE... MY FREEDOM!"
OMG I cant believe I haven't seen an animal wonders video in so long! TH-cam never shows AWM videos to me in suggestions :(
Thanks so much for your incredible work. I've turned on the bell now.
Twice last year, I saw separate beaver roadkill, something I'd never seen in my state of Maryland all 35 years of my life. Both times, I was running late. Both times, I lamented not throwing the carcass in my trunk to make sure that the gorgeous beaver pelt did not go to waste (I'm a leathercrafter with a little butchering experience, how hard could it be?). Regardless or missing out, beaver are amazing creatures, and the one positive takeaway from my experience is that it seems like their numbers might finally be growing in my state. I hope that continues!
I love this show, I love Complexly (and semi-related, I love PBS)!
They're already dead. Might as well try to make use of the carcass, right?
Now that you made me think of it, I might have to start picking up roadkill to donate their skulls to the university museum. I should put together a kit for that though, so I'm not unprepared and just grabbing dead animal with my bare hands. And I suggest you do that too. Some gloves and whatever you need to cleanly transport such a thing.
I've heard that beaver pelts will last literally forever if they're taken care of, so it really seems to be worth the trouble if you feel up to that sort of thing.
Careful. Picking up roadkill is against the law in a few states.
I LOVE this little guy!
Hello Jessie,
I'm a recent subscriber, and, I love your videos. I learn something new from every video.
Your work with the animals is inspiring,
exciting, and admirable. They are so very lucky to have you.
Thanks, for all you do.
Sincerely,
Deborah 🐾 💟🌻
When she was talking about that self reinforcing. I felt that.
You forgot the cards at the end of the episode! XD
Anyways, great episode! It's always nice getting to see more of the training process!
It's actually really heartening to see even experts struggle a bit with training an animal. Each animal has their own personality, and if they don't pick up on training immediately, it doesn't mean you're doing a bad job, it just means it will take a little more time and patience.
I loved watching him just explore
Aww so awesome
my god he’s huge now
Such a cute little being. Almost seal-like.
I love him ❤️
He’s getting so big! 😊
Omg this is adorable. I never knew beavers were so cute!
Love the series and appreciate the wonderful work you're trying to do. I'd like to chime in on environment and care for rescued beavers: In addition to other stimulation that mimics or replicates activities in the natural world, captive beavers need to have access to clean water at least 4 times per day. Is that part of Huckleberry's daily routine? I've also been concerned by the restricted space and ad hoc nature of these wild animals' cages as depicted in the videos. Do you have future plans to develop species-appropriate enclosures or to re-home some of your animals with facilities that can provide a more natural living space? Best of luck and I'm looking forward to watching you refine your animal care and evolve this unique project!
Do you know if he's actually a boy now?
Also OMG he got huge
What does adult huckleberry smell like? Has his fur and tail changed in texture?
kherichi He smells a bit like fish and musky pee 🤣
Wow Huckleberry's gotten so big! I only saw the video where he was still a baby beaver. I didn't know beavers were so big next to humans! He's still very cute nonetheless
How Sweet!
I really admire beaver!!!!
Oh my goodness Huckleberry got so big!! Whatta sweetheart
What huckleberry is evolving? He evolved into adulthood huckleberry learnt sass
He's so big now!! Is he still growing?
What a nice fluffy beaver!
He's gotten so big in a year!
Huckleberry is sooo adorable and sweet and amazing!! He’s like a puppy!! (But better!!)
He reminds me of my kitty. They have the same temperament and my kitty also has some brain issues. (They also have some chunks in the same places 😄) It's so cool to see them learn new things! Go Huck!!! ❤
I love it when she's holding him! 😘
5:24 "I'm gonna go deal with that". Now I'm wondering what "that" was. Huckleberry buying birch off Amazon Prime?
BTW, I had huckleberry ice cream in Alaska. It tasted great -- a sweet fruit that was kind of blueberry raspberry something! Note: No beavers were harmed in the production of this ice cream.
Your hair looks really good in this video :)
Too cute!
Do you do these training sessions around a normal meal time? It seems like maybe he would be more motivated to get the food reward if he was hungry. Or is it more of one of those, "I have 10 minutes to spare" type of events?
KT Normally I plan training sessions around when the animal will be most hungry. In this case I had to do it in the morning due to scheduling with my videographer/director. It's a bit of a challenge scheduling filming at midnight, lol. I'm glad I got my husband to hold my phone to capture the second session. What you don't see behind the camera is my children happily eating handfuls of grapes I gave them as an offering to be quiet during the session 😁
Your kids watching the training sessions is such a cute image, Jessi!
AnimalWonders Montana Munching on grapes myself as I type this: you have the most wonderful animals, personality and family
I am so happy that your human pups will grow up surrounded by so much love. love for them, love for the animals, love for everyone!!! they are going to be amazing human beings!!
@@animalwondersmontana so you've proven that positive reinforcement works on select homo sapiens...😊
GJ Huckleberry!
Wow! He's so big now! Awwww!
Hi Jessi! Yay Huckleberry! Does this also work on Nutria?
What kind of dog is this?
It was funny at 5:50 when she was like “it’s OK that he wants to be away from me”, and then it changes immediately to a shot of her cuddling him! XD. #lol
I love Huckleberry!!!
