My Grandpa has a family of beavers on his property. Turned 10s of thousands of square feet of the best agricultural land into a massive lake and its gorgeous.
Normally I’d say that was a loss but then I thought of how amazing a fishing and duck hunting spot that must be. I already love fishing but the moment I can afford guns, one of the many guns I’m gonna buy will be a shotgun I intend to use for duck hunting. Me and my dad together already catch so much fish that we don’t know what to do with it, and we’ve had to buy a second freezer just for the fish.

@@jackielinde7568 yeah, true! That way is good for us too to know more about canadian animals. Sometimes there are new things to be discovered right around the corner!
I like and stick to canadian beaver as it is far more populous in my area. I am not anti foreign beaver its just not as available but great fun as its sometimes kept differently.
I'd like to see beavers returned to their historical range out west, seems like they could help a bit with droughts in remote areas. trap and remove them when they edge into farmland. I'm pretty sure the beaver dams would reduce the severity of wildfires, and that, even with trapping and removing them from farms, it would be very cost effective compared to fighting the fires. . . plus, all those extra ponds might provide remote resources to helicopters with the water buckets. My education is in industrial arts not environmental science, so I'm just spitballing here.
I'm sure it would be a great benefit, but part of the wildfire-problem comes from drought. And without water, beavers won't really be able to create ponds. But in general, I'm pretty sure you're right and it would help.
In a Nature of Things episode about beavers, researchers found a strong correlation between beavers' constructions and precipitation. It was a while ago that I saw it, but pretty cool. The episode should be easy to find if anyone's curious.
@@frizzlethecat2084 In Arizona, in areas that have been ravaged by drought, the parts of such areas that allowed beavers to live and create their dams, found that their waterways continued to have water throughout the driest parts of the year. The water management system of the beavers beat the droughts. Initially it had been thought, or claimed, that beavers couldn't be re introduced because of the ongoing droughts and water shortages. But some areas rejected this assertion and introduced beavers. Those areas were the ones that had water all year round, which had a tremendous knock on effect of the health and presence of all the other animal species of the area - as they had water. It was a total success even in the areas hard hid by years of drought.
@@greenman6141 thats pretty cool... and makes sense, im probably going off on a tangent here, but theoretically speaking, the ponds they create, would add to rainfall, i mean the whole water cycle thing i learnt in school, but forget the exact details tbh, but im thinking something like increased surface area plus slow moving... and, if you have a dammed up area of water, you have that amount of water to still head downstream and feed the watercourse, plus small scale, but theyre collecting atleast some dead trees and twigs which would become kindling for forest fires... plus, if you have water, you can introduce other animals that would eat woodland greens, that would otherwise die off qnd wecome super dry and flammable, and the dams, and soggy surrounding areas, would be natural firebreaks... kinda sad tho, the bit where they said they were removed because they were in conflict with farmlands...
You're actually not far off. The extinction of the Megafauna out West, such as Camelops, Giant Sloths, etc.. probably sowed the seeds of destruction in the beginning though.
I remember canoeing on a stretch of creek and didn't realize how close we were to where the local beavers lived, until one came out and tail slapped near us. Sorry, guy, didn't know
I love beavers, they're cute and some of nature's best architects and engineers ❤ What's best is that their Europwan cousins are finally calling my German home country their home again as well 🥰

I love beavers so much. They are such fascinating creatures and I'm impressed with what they do. Recently I learned they are a.... 'Keystone species' I think was the phrase, which means that entire ecosystems depend on beavers and how they create dams. Which they do relentlessly. They are compelled. And they're CUUUUUUTE. They're SO *FRIGGIN* CUTE!!!
Here are some animals that I’d like to see videos of, elephants, coyotes, giraffes, zebras, snow leopards, wild boar, warthogs, cape buffalo, and ring tailed lemurs.

8:41 to nitpick, "castor oil" is the oil of the castor bean. The product beavers produce to mark their territory is "Castoreum". It is believed that castor-oil/castor-bean got its name because it came to be used as a replacement for castoreum as a perfume base.
The beaver is the mascot for MIT as they are "natural engineers". As students we tried to emulate their energy and scope, even when it wasn't a physical engineering endeavor.
Good thing they mentioned the case of patagonia, caused by broke fur farmers releasing them into the wild when they weren't profitable anymore as the fashion fad died, tho I missed a little longer explanation in the sheer scale of environmental destruction caused by irresponsible humans as part of the importance of the beaver in the whole ecosystem coevolution :< Beautiful video as always!
an animal that makes a safe, stable, and rich environment for a variety of creatures. Kinda spot on for canada and how it's become a home for a diverse group of people
We had a beaver dam at my cottage on whitestone lake. Just outside of Algonquin park! The dams have unfortunately been left abandoned and the aftermath was impressive! Truly amazing creatures.
Well done with this one. I thought I knew a fair amount about beavers, but you managed to teach me some cool things, and in a very friendly interesting way. I've been watching your vids for a while but this one earned my sub.
This is going to sound crazy for those who don't know, but I absolutely love how the new Pokémon snap game which features a beaver Pokémon named bidoof, shares a pond with Swannas which are swans, their babies and other duck like Pokémon. Goes to show they probably noted how beavers tends to share their environment
After years of restoring the riverfront and wetlands along the Detroit River, the beaver is making a very successful return to Detroit/Windsor. I live about 2 miles from downtown Detroit (and the Detroit River) and I’ve been spotting them frequently, around my neighborhood.
I have a pond in Quebec and have a beaver family! They are cutting down some trees and get a bit messy but the great thing is that I realize I am a visitor in their environment. Sadly sometimes they manage to affect the municipal road and they (the road service people) are not so patient. At the end we lose the beavers to public interests
Sorry the beavers on your property got removed. The roads people should be putting metal grates at the ends of the culverts that go under roads. Stops the beavers from plugging up the culverts.
I shouted "Beaver farts!!" and sat here giggling like a maniac 😁 Yuppers, Im one of "those people" who will forever find farts funny....especially when its an animal that surprises/scares itself with one 😂
"Beavers mate for life." Canada tried to breed them (in what's now William Switzer Provincial Park north of Hinton Alberta), but didn't appreciate this fact, and failed as a result. There's an explanatory plaque at the location.
Recently watched a Beaver swimming in my home water while fishing- the Nooksack River in Washington State. This river in particular has had massive salmon habitat loss due to agricultural and climate impacts. Glad to know the Beavers are here to help! I'll be cheering them on next time I see them! 👍
The Nooksac riiver has been badly damaged by the logging of forests on steep land the sends creeks eroding and bringing dpwn boulders into fllod plains. The problem gets worse when illegal trappers go in and wipe out the beavers - still!
I really enjoy their return to the Hamilton Harbour/Burlington Bay region. There is a nice dam on the redhill creek under the Barton St bridge/overpass. One beaver is building a dam and appears to one hopefully dam Bayfront boat launch. Poor guy. He keeps taking down the trees along the park walk way thst act as protection from erosion (holds the soil tother) im sure he will be moved soon.
In my hometown of Chicago we have a lot of beavers (the entire great lakes region of the U.S. & CA is beaver city). There was an HOA (Home owner's association) in the burbs that had several condos situated around a small lake and stream, a family of beavers moved into the lake and the HOA started making preparations to trap and kill the beavers because they were gnawing on fence posts. The residents of the condo community got wind of the plan and protested hard and the HOA had to back off. Even though they were gnawing on fence posts, people generally don't want to hurt beavers, in fact most people find them endearing. Just goes to show how nasty HOA's can be.
We had a problem in Washington DC with a beaver going after the historic cherry trees around the Tidal Basin. The beaver had to be relocated. Thanks to pollution controls, DC is now a much better environment for wildlife than it was in the past. Rock Creek runs right through the center of the city and drains into the Potomac watershed.
I love that Beavers mate for life and live in generational family units. I always kinda feel sad for animals that live singular lives, although I understand that is how they evolved to survive.
I think it's important to look at humans the same way as beavers- not as gods that warp the world about them, but as animals that have adapted means to shifting their habitat for their own benefit (for better or for worse, for others or for themselves).
You are the best person on all these related nature channels, I've seen the plant channel and other people on this channel. You have this aw shucks wholesome way of talking about nature that I like to show my kids these videos.
@@bradley4465 bees konda included with ants really. Ants bees and wasps all belong to the same (genera?' group? Whichever word is right) hence they all exhibit similar nest building
I had no idea how interconnected beavers and their dams are to the environment and that they help other animals to thrive, I especially was unaware that beaver dams helped salmon populations to thrive, that's pretty amazing. I wish humans didn't have such a terrible impact on the delicate webs woven by mother nature. I realize that humans are a part of that web, too... but with our "superior" knowledge comes responsibility, to be good stewards of the gifts that this planet has given us.

You are the best person on all these related nature channels, I've seen the plant channel and other people on this channel. You have this aw shucks wholesome way of talking about nature that I like to show my kids these videos.
Wait till beavers learn about oceans
A great historical beaver story is of "geronimo the beaver" in Idaho. He was given a parachute and dropped out of an airplane
Beavers, Ants and Humans ... all three can engineer some amazing structures without the use of machinery.
There's also some species of termite.
Don't forget about weaverbirds ;)
What about BEES?!
@@bradley4465 bees konda included with ants really.
Ants bees and wasps all belong to the same (genera?' group? Whichever word is right) hence they all exhibit similar nest building
great timing, I recently became more interested in beavers
now we just need a capybara vid...
I live in Deep South Ontario and I have seen beavers in the Thames river which is quite surprising given how rapid the water gets in there…
A moment of appreciation for you hair Danielle! love it! great ep as well :)
I had no idea how interconnected beavers and their dams are to the environment and that they help other animals to thrive, I especially was unaware that beaver dams helped salmon populations to thrive, that's pretty amazing. I wish humans didn't have such a terrible impact on the delicate webs woven by mother nature. I realize that humans are a part of that web, too... but with our "superior" knowledge comes responsibility, to be good stewards of the gifts that this planet has given us.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the parachuting beavers in Idaho in the 40's (It was a real thing)
I've seen them in parks around Seattle. Muskrats too
And lots of bald eagles, coots, many species of waterfowl, owls, and coyotes
I especially loved this episode 💚
I would imagine beavers help the aquifers to recharge by creating dams and let the water leach back into the land.
yay finally! The majestic Beaver, love them so much
More beavers= less fires and more salmon for washington . We gotta bring these guys back
