Don't Get Between a Beaver and its Home…

- I had a seriously close encounter with the beavers in my yard and I have learned a lot from this experience. I will be taking much heftier precautions when observing these beavers moving forward, especially around their lodges and dams.
If you're reading this, would you consider subscribing to my channel and liking the video? It really helps me out and I'd love to have you along for the ride.

Since the beavers that live in my backyard have come out for spring at last, I spent every day last week capturing them in their natural environment. Day by day, these beavers are gnawing a place in my heart. On day 7, however, I got way too close to a #beaver for comfort. I managed to film the whole experience, so this video is walking through exactly what happened.
Some background on my backyard beavers:
The #beavers are a controversial topic in my family. The majority of my family wants to remove the beavers from the pond, but a couple family members (me included) are getting in the way. Since the beavers moved in, there has been a surge in biodiversity. We now have all sorts of endangered frogs that live in the pond, giving each morning and evening a beautiful chorus. There is a fully constructed #beaverdam right now, as well as a #beaverlodge for every pair of beavers present.
That being said, the beavers do cause frequent difficulties for us, like digging holes in the road and knocking trees down that we'd rather keep up. It's not uncommon to have a tree nearly fall on a building. However, with all the options weighed, evidently there is a great benefit to coexisting with these incredible rodents.
This pond area is jam packed with nature and we frequently have moose, black bears, owls, and more circling the pond! Also, there is a seemingly endless supply of mossy forest nearby this pond. The trees consist of lots of birch, poplar, spruce, pine, aspen, and willow trees. I love these Mid-Western Canadian woods!

Bro pulled a "Drax the destroyer" card there. He mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still and he became invisible to the eyes of the Beavers.
It’s quite intriguing to observe how both beavers, upon passing in front of you at different times, pause at the very same spot to sniff the air. It’s as if they’re pinpointing the exact location where the wind carries your scent. That interaction with the subtle cues of their surroundings!
Agreed, I think that's exactly what is happening. It's interesting how well adapted they are for their surroundings, despite their poor eyesight. Also, I won't take it personally that they think I'm stinky enough for a 10 second sniff😆
Mike's Videos of Beavers has great beaver content. He records the beavers in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He always has close encounters, but generally they sniff his shoes and walk away. Great work
Mike’s Videos of Beavers is the golden standard of beaver content! Thanks for the comment 😄
Thank you for sharing your experience! So wild, but what a way to learn haha!!
Thanks for sharing your experience…anyone with wildlife experience knows never to cross a beaver, a moose, a coyote, and a few others in our beautiful country!
Really looking forward to future videos!
Cheers!🇨🇦
I’m learning more every day! Thanks for watching and the kind comment! 😁
Cool video! Beavers are really cool animals. They are a lot bigger than most people think they are. I lived in Utah for 5 years and there are a lot of beavers. My son and I were swimming in a small stream one time and a HUGE male beaver came swimming up stream and we were in its way. It started slapping its tail and making hissing noises telling us to get out of the way. We did.
Thanks a lot! They are definitely big when you're up close and they aren't shy about telling you to move away. I couldn't imagine being in the water with one... thanks for sharing!
I could feel the tension through the video when they were right next to you. Sweet vid man!
Thanks man! Sitting there I had a vivid image in my head of the beaver running up and biting an artery in my leg or something with those iron-coated teeth... I appreciate the comment :)

Angry beavers are dangerous
Heck yea. New subscriber

Gotta admire these very industrious rodents !!!
Absolutely, they are fascinating creatures and they work SO hard!
Always have a weapon. If it comes to my life they will lose everytime. Stay safe.
That's a good suggestion, thanks for the safety wishes!
what a bozo
Bro i am from Kenya. Loved this video, haters gonna hate! Keep posting! Subscribed!
Thank you - much love to you from Canada!
Leave it to beaver.
Have been told that the meat from a beaver is similar in texture and flavor as grass-fed beef...
Interesting! I’m grateful we don’t have another meat to add to the “tastes like chicken” list.
@@ethanzapach Gotta thank our blessings wherever we find them...
fucking sick!
My heart rate didn't go down for 2 days
th-cam.com/video/igK-X7DPdqU/w-d-xo.html. beavers can be quite aggressive!
Definitely they can! It doesn't help that they have iron-coated teeth too😅
Nice video, but I don't really give a dam. 🦫 😂
Watch it, or I'll slap my tail!
