And this is why I don’t look at comments too much. I just watch the video and I fell in love with JB and how sweet and cute he is only to find out he’s passed away. At least he had a good life and he received a lot of love and respect. Kudos to these people.❤
Oh my good!ive havent watched that. I have watched this video several times, because impacts me his story and his mom. Its horrible that...😢!! Animals are absolutelly a invaluable gift.. ❤. 🌹 Rest in peace sweetie...🥺
I love this little beaver. I've been following him since he was a baby. I'm so brokenhearted to learn he passed away on December 5th, 2021, of a bacterial infection. Apparently, he died very quickly after acquiring the infection. 💔 Rest in Peace, JB. I'm pretty sure after you crossed the Rainbow Bridge, you made a dam under it! 🌈 You are so missed ❤
THAT bip bip he did when she said JB no! has got to be the cutest thing sound I've ever seen heard in this world, omg he actually was talking back to her, no wonder she lets him do everything, it's just too much cuteness he's the BEST who cares about the house furniture😘😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️bless all of you amazing people bless u JB ❤️
This video was also sponsored by someone else .. and most sponsors just want themselves to be highlighted and not share unless it is an arranged joint sponsor. And The Dodo have a say in all of this too. I have seen the making of her pond and it is brilliant, it looked like the contractor got a lot of views and subs to their own channel - I’m a sub to their channel because if it ☺️ 🦦 💦
Unfortunately that pond was more designed for humans than beavers. Beavers hate running water, to put one near those waterfalls is actually kind of cruel. I'm sure they didn't understand that, but it can cause the animal all kinds of stress.
My dog does the same thing with his snuggle cushions. Suckles on a mouthful & kneads it with his paws. He was weaned a bit early, but I actually think he learned it from his Mum as we had her to stay once & she did exactly the same thing. Loki does it know for puppy meditation though. He becomes so relaxed he can fall asleep lol.
RIP JB, what an amazing spoiled life he had. Im sure that enclosure that was made for JB is now housing another awesome animal(s) that is also being just as spoiled. JB's legacy will live on!
@@Javajavajav Yup! My dog’s mother died when he was only 5 weeks so we got him a little early. I had an old purple blanket he took a liking to and he would suck on it and fall asleep with it in his mouth.
@@Javajavajav my cat does this with his paws, he sucks on them as if they where nipples, he’s started doing this as a kitten and still does now that he’s 8 years old 🥺💔 I’ve adopted him when he was two months old, poor thing
Even if he couldn’t be released into the wild, they made him a beautiful area where he can be a beaver. JB is awesome! So sorry to hear that he’s no longer with us.
Sadly JB recently passed, but thru his videos he will continue to teach people how beavers contribute to a healthy properly functioning ecosystem. JB and his kind are nature's engineers. JB was immensely loved and will be immensely missed. 🦫🤎🦫
Sadly, JB passed away from gastrointestinal bloat over Thanksgiving weekend. Second Chances Wildlife put out an emotional announcement video on Monday to state that his last "live documentary" video would be released today. RIP Justin Beaver, may you happily forever build as many blanket damns as you want in your new heavenly pond!
So cute and one of my favorite animals. They're amazing for the environment and are starting to be used to bring life back to forests on the west coast :)
I read a book written by another lady who rescued a baby Beavers and others and she released hers back into the Wild, once it was a little older. It went right back to being a wild Beaver very quickly and would not come to her at all in just a couple of weeks, I think it was. They run pretty much on instinct she said and can be returned to the wild fairly easily.
😢 Awwwww. So sad. He probably died happy and full of love. He probably crossed that rainbow bridge, found Gods house, and did the same thing to Gods house as his rescuers house. May JD RIP.
So sad do they know what happened or why? I wonder if that's why his mother abandoned him. Still he was loved 😍 ❤ to the best of his ability and was a great ambassador. He will be missed 😢 😔 💔 😞 😪 😭.
@@matth2868 Yeah, no. That saying is bullcrap. Humans are the most unnatural animals on this planet. We destroy everything we touch. The least we can do to make up for how horrid we are is helping nature in any way we can. Just us existing is not "allowing nature to take its course," so if we're going to go against nature, it should be doing something good for it.
love how beavers build houses (with bedrooms, living rooms, foyers, pantries/fridges) and get married, like humans 🦫 and how adult beavers whine like human babies
That is so wonderful that he got his own private pond cuz as they say he could never go back out wild and it's so cute he has a blankie so cute. Be safe and continue to show the children how important are animals are to us to be kind to one another love and prayers to all.
Bruh gonna cry the way he stands up when he says hi to people with his wee paws upwards ;A; And the blanket suckling to go to sleep- ahhhhhHhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHH 😭 Even if he can’t be re-released into the wild, it warms my heart to see him live happily whole also helping people learn and help them be more invested in wildlife! Rest in peace, Ambassador JB 🙏
Thank you for saving JB. I know it’s sad he can’t be in the wild. But, as an ambassador, JB will help teach about the purpose of a beaver in the wild. He looks so happy in his new home.
This is Amazing!!! I love how he welcomes you with open arms. So, Unusual for a Beaver to be abandoned, and not know how to swim or to be in water. This is rare. I'm so Happy this lady rehabilitated JB. ❤️ all love. ❤️
Beavers were causing serious drainage issues in my area, and they were paying trappers to kill them. I designed and installed several "beaver deceivers" which solved the drainage problems and eliminated the need to trap the beavers. If you have problems with beavers, I urge you to consider it as a solution. You can also install hardware cloth around the trunks of trees you want to protect.
i have long considered the need to kill wildlife as a sign that the person in question is to stupid or un-creative to figure out how to modify the animals behavior. beavers build dams at the point of least resistance where they can hear the sound of running water. therefore to stop the beaver from damming up the culvert 1) use chicken wire to keep the beavers 5 ft from the culvert, 2) place a line of good sized rocks, mud, and wooden stakes a bit behind the fencing, 3) add a large flexible pipe with a screw on cap through the dam site, it should pass several feet past the width of the dam, 4) use some sacrificial speakers playing the sound of running water overnight centered at the better dam site, 5) when dam is dangerously full unscrew pipe cap from secret drainage channel, you must stand at the pipe the entire time you drain water from the dam to prevent the beavers approaching the pipe and discovering the drainage system and be sure to properly recap the pipe once water is reduced to safer levels. that is the proper way to stop beavers from blocking drainage culverts. now people need to stop building things where a simple fallen tree and some random debris swept down in a rainstorm can turn the place into a bog. building in such an easily flooded place is just poor planing and those people need to take responsibility for their own poor decisions. if you realy want to build there plan ahead and expect the place to flood periodically. maby just build a stilt house and build the pond yourself, a little dredging and you have a nice swimming hole, fishpond, ect. right off your front porch, make it a feature you incorporate in your planing instead of trying to blame wildlife for your own poor decisions. ok. end of rant.
@@marthachampagne316 Thanks for the reply. Actually, a properly designed/constructed beaver deceiver is pretty much maintenance-free. Once installed, it prevents the water level from going up in the first place. You don't have to do anything but inspect it occasionally. I built my first one around 10 years ago, and it worked so well that numerous landowners/organizations have asked me to design them for their locations. Generally, you take a flexible culvert pipe and run it through the beaver dam (it's easiest to do the excavation when the water level behind the dam is high, as the flowing water makes it much easier and carries the debris away for you). I usually place the pipe, so the opening is around 20 feet away from the dam, then surround it with a section of fencing around 10 feet square. This way, 1. It's far enough removed from the dam they don't associate the movement with water passing through their dam (thus deceiving them). 2. even if they did (which they never seem to), they can't get to the opening of the pipe to block it. It is best to put an exclusion fence around the outlet also, or they will try to bury it. You have to adjust the design for your particular location. The one I designed earlier this year drains an entire chain of lakes, is 130 feet long, and the opening is 40 feet back from the dam. The lake levels have always been up and down, depending on rainfall, but since installing the deceiver the lake levels have been extremely consistent. It's nice showing up at the access and always having just the right water level at the boat launch ramp. Funny thing is the beavers actually did us a favor in this instance. The state would never allow us to build a dam to control the level of the lakes, but since the beavers built the dam, we could legally install the control device. Win/win.
How interesting and instructive your comment and Martha's sound. I think that there have been "experiments" with introducing beavers in the South of my country but either they failed or perhaps there were fears of them reproducing too much. Never seen one closely, just otters in my family's ranch but we would stay away because of fears of our dogs or us being biten. Hope Martha and you get more Likes Besotes of mine.

Your a rehabilitation care provider, your house will get trashed, that comes with having the honor, permission & resources to keeping these beautiful wildlife, that’s obviously your job, so take it as it comes, it’s a privilege!!!!! JD your an amazing bundle of precious joy, may your life be filled with lots of wood, water, happiness & love. ~ xx Thank you for sharing & caring animal love
These humans are light workers, Earth Angels we desperately need more people like this humbly we are one of them making better stewarts for wild life. God bless you all!
I live in the Soulth of England and earlier this year they introduced beavers back in to the wild after 400 years. I saw it on the news and they are doing great and have already built a dam and are making it theirs.
Thank you for the info. You inspired me to read up on the efforts to re-establish the Eurasian beaver in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. I hope it continues to be a successful program.
Awe, he loves his binky 🥰🥰🥰 and @ 4:52 seeing that little girl's reaction made my day. Hopefully she will use that experience to help animals in the future 🙂.
Oh my gosh, the sounds he makes....and you let him keep his blankey. I just can't get over this. lol. It's precious! Thank you to Ms. Brigitte and those who help you so that you can help wildlife. This just made me melt.
I know this is a year old comment, and yes it was super cute. it's also really sad though because I had a kitten that used to do the same thing. it's a sign of being removed from their mother way too soon...
His mom is so thoughtful. 🥺 She knows JB is a wild animal and should be living as wild as possible... but that's also her baby, so the blankies went with him too. 🥺🥺
Huge respect people. This such responsible move to move the beaver into a habitat suitable for them and knowing that you genuinely tried to rehabilitate him makes me happy. Its refreshing to see such people inbetween all those who have wild cats as pet just for being a showcase pieces.
It's great to see JB again. He's absolutely adorable. Glad to see he continued to do well and that people were also educated. I saw in the comments he was no longer living, which I was able to confirm. May he rest well 😞.
Bless this woman for sacrificing her furniture and baseboards to rehab JB!! Amazing
@Kianite probably not… but did he actually eat it or do they just chew on it and it helps file their teeth? I honestly don’t know
@Jackie Robinson so they just like to chew it?
@@ellemmenn2930 yes to file down teeth and shape it in a way that suits the damn they want to build
@@shyrolax6244 ahhh, thank you I wasn’t sure… do their teeth just keep growing if they don’t file them down by chewing on wood?

Your a rehabilitation care provider, your house will get trashed, that comes with having the honor, permission & resources to keeping these beautiful wildlife, that’s obviously your job, so take it as it comes, it’s a privilege!!!!!
JD your an amazing bundle of precious joy, may your life be filled with lots of wood, water, happiness & love. ~ xx
Thank you for sharing & caring animal love
These humans are light workers, Earth Angels we desperately need more people like this humbly we are one of them making better stewarts for wild life. God bless you all!
I live in the Soulth of England and earlier this year they introduced beavers back in to the wild after 400 years. I saw it on the news and they are doing great and have already built a dam and are making it theirs.
Thank you for the info. You inspired me to read up on the efforts to re-establish the Eurasian beaver in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. I hope it continues to be a successful program.
400 years? Old boy
Wonderful news
Is it European Beavers or American Beavers?
Yes, that is a great programme.
Rest in peace, JB.
whut?
Awe, he loves his binky 🥰🥰🥰 and @ 4:52 seeing that little girl's reaction made my day. Hopefully she will use that experience to help animals in the future 🙂.
He’s so adorable. Such a sweet story
How can you say no to that face! He's absolutely adorable!
Wonderful protectors of wild life. I so admire them.
Love you for what you do. What a blessing you & your family are.
"I don't know where to go, I don't know what to take, all I know is I must build" - JB, 2021
Adorable. I love that JB suckling on the corners of his blankies have given him solace. Thank you for making sure he thrives in his "wild" space.
Is youBEAVER tight and hairy ?
He is the cutest. I doubt JB would want to leave his little paradise behind! 😍😍
I love this video and have watched it many times. Bless you for rescuing JB!
Oh my gosh, the sounds he makes....and you let him keep his blankey. I just can't get over this. lol. It's precious! Thank you to Ms. Brigitte and those who help you so that you can help wildlife. This just made me melt.

Wow, I didn't know he died.. 🙏
@@whyputaname It's in the description under the video.
@@basquat76 I don't see anything that says that in the description!
@@pooheadlou The long description says that “to honor JB’s legacy” people can donate to the rescue organization.
@@pooheadlou No they have oddly enough removed it, but i assure it was there earlier.
I’m in love with JB! Thank you for giving him the best life. And for teaching future generations.
I've seen updated versions of this story over the last couple of years. It gets better and better every time 😊

Just an amazing beaver mom,many blessings to you and your household.
Beavers are the best. So cute. Love you guys. Thank you to the lady that cared for JB. God bless you. 🐾💗➕💗🐾
RIP JB. You were the bestest beaver Boi. I hope you are having fun chewing wood a getting pets in heaven.
This is REALLY REALLY special. Wildly hilarious and so so adorable CUTE.
My goodness, he is sooo special. God bless you all.
This is one of the best dodo videos I've ever seen and I've watched loads. The outdoor enclosure is fabulous.
Him suckling the corner of his blankie for comfort is the cutest thing I've seen all day!
I know this is a year old comment, and yes it was super cute. it's also really sad though because I had a kitten that used to do the same thing. it's a sign of being removed from their mother way too soon...
Sign of emotional damage. 😢😢.
@@FFNOJG I did this as a child so I know what it's about.
His mom is so thoughtful. 🥺 She knows JB is a wild animal and should be living as wild as possible... but that's also her baby, so the blankies went with him too. 🥺🥺
It's heartbreaking he sucks on the blanket. Missing his mom.
The pacience to record every quality he has, very lovely.
He was precious. A sweet boy 🥺💗 God bless you JB. You made your mark , you're a legend.
He's adorable ❤
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕 ✨ 😊
May the ducks heal you 🦆💕✨
so sad to hear about JB what a legend!
Look ♫ Look ♫ Look ♫ 💕 ✨ 😊
May the ducks heal you 🦆💕✨
What happened to JB?
@@headtur 😢 THEY SAY HE PASSED FROM A BACTERIAL INFECTION 😢 SO SAD 💔
Huge respect people. This such responsible move to move the beaver into a habitat suitable for them and knowing that you genuinely tried to rehabilitate him makes me happy. Its refreshing to see such people inbetween all those who have wild cats as pet just for being a showcase pieces.
So precious! Thanks for sharing!!
It's great to see JB again. He's absolutely adorable. Glad to see he continued to do well and that people were also educated. I saw in the comments he was no longer living, which I was able to confirm. May he rest well 😞.
It's hard to stay mad when he makes those adorable sounds ❤️
What a beautiful story for JB and her 'adopted family ' ...long may people like his lady care for our animals and wildlife in their time of need 😊🦫
Thank you for blessing us with his story. 💘
Rest peacefully in heaven JB. We will miss your adorable little face and sounds.
He died ?
Yes, so sad. 😢🙏🏼
JB says : I can get away with it because I'm cute
"I've never been this close to a beaver."
Most people would not admit that out loud
Rehabilitating wildlife like a champ! Incredible work. 🙏
4:45 The lil girls reaction is adorable.
... children and animals. Gods beautiful gifts to us !!!💯❤️😂
What a sweet and adorable little beaver. Heartwarming doesn't even cover it.
I love wildlife! Let’s teach the kids all about it! Spread the good word of how important wildlife is!
He is so adorable....
God Bless the Beaver and the people taking care of him.
I admire this woman, she has so much love for wildlife!
