Beavers are so underrated. They drop trees, dam up rivers to fish in the ponds and build homes inside the dams. How many other animals could ever do that?
@@VengefulPolititron the only animals above animals are other animals. Birds and insects when we’re on the ground and then us again as we fly over them in planes & helicopters
I recall seeing a video where young beavers "apprentice" under their fathers to learn how to build dams. They do build dams instinctively, but there is a cultural component apparently that may have been passed down for many generations. Perhaps beavers will rediscover techniques like you mention, but this teaching from father (perhaps mother beavers teach also) hastens the process so that a young beaver will be more successful with parents than without. I have seen videos where mother cats very clearly teach their kittens things -- in one, the mother cat taps its kitten on the should when its attention wanders. Much more going on upstairs with animals than many give them credit for.

@russellking9762 ...Unfortunately. they are very misunderstood, and many states here in the US classify them as a nuisance species. They have unbelievable social skills, they mate for life and form families. They have down under their fur, they have an oil gland and groom themselves to stay waterproof. They have orange teeth because of the iron content. Yet they're a nuisance. But the power plant or the plastics factory down the road isn't.

Smaller trees don't make quite as loud of a crash like big ones, but depending on the size of the tree and the lay of the land (as far as hills, gullies, canyons etc. that can potentially block OR enhance sound travel) you can definitely hear them hit the ground, especially in the night time when sound seems to be louder. Kind of a similar type of thing to how sound seems louder on a snowy day.

True masters of their trade. And so friggin cute too! True story... was in the pineys of south Jersey, for about 20 minutes picking up a friend who tubed down a river, came back and saw that a beaver was in the process of felling a tree not 2 feet from my truck, and had almost chewed through a 30 foot pine tree, which, and I imagine if I had probably been 10 minutes later it would have landed right on top of my pick up. I could tell which way it was going to come down. This was no coincidence. He/she ran off as I walked up. I remember thinking that it knew exactly what it was doing too. Had a sense of hunor, or some kind of environmental stance on the matter, and didnt like my truck being there. Their ability to chew through wood with such speed and accuracy never ceases to amaze me.
LOL, you parked in it's spot. We were cat fishing on an old boat ramp one night like 20 years ago. I guess we had set up too close for comfort or where the beaver wanted to come out. He did laps for a half hour. (knocking our poles down a couple times) Finally he came out, and spent 10 minutes chattering his teeth and approaching us slowly. My girlfriend was getting scared. Then the little fart came over by our lantern, it cast the most evil looking spikey backed 15 feet tall shadow I ever saw. I swear it knew it. It stood there for fifteen minutes going between grooming and clacking it's teeth. Everytime my girlfriend would whine, it would react and make the evil shadow more spikey. He'd throw his little paws in a swiping motion perfectly in line to make the shadow demon. It knew what it was doing with the shadow. I was laughing, she was scared, which got me in trouble. 😂
Beavers are very selective when it comes to pickup trucks , for some reason they prefer Fords over any other brands . This information came after a exhaustive 10 year study from Kean University to help determine what pickup trucks beavers 🦫 liked the least . Go figure :-)
There are many stories that indicate beavers are really intelligent -- it is clear that building dams and, in particular, felling trees takes a lot of skill. While instinct probably plays a role, I have also read that they learn from their fathers. How they convey to their young how to gnaw a tree so that it falls where they want it, how to avoid being in the way of the falling trees is an interesting question. There is the famous story of a speaker playing the sound of flowing water which they want to stop when they build dans -- the beaver was able to figure out that the sounds were "fake" and just disabled the speaker by driving a pieces of wood into it. I think teaching beavers to use word buttons as has been done with dogs and cats might tell us some amazing things, they might describe for us how they perform some of their sophisticated engineering. I doubt if the average human could easily make dams as they do, with their underwater entrances, etc.
@@Mr1987Joe I would say that while a wolf would be better at surviving in the wild, a dog would understand human language better. Not due to experience but because they have been bred for this -- a dog can understand finger pointing but iirc a wolf can't. My big question is, just how intelligent whales are. I think it is not impossible that their processing power and memories are far beyond the abilities of humans.
There are different kinds of intelligence. Just because an animal figures out how to cut trees doesn't mean it needs language. Also, it's really patronizing when people assume that other animals are automatons. There's so much evidence it's not true.
When I was young I've always thought animals don't have intelligence and are merely reactionary. After I learn more and more about animals I found that is far from the truth. However, it makes me question the significance of human intelligence. Maybe our brain not so special after all, now that a machine purely trained on text can resemble similar intelligence. Intelligence itself is probably overrated.
Beavers are the only mammal aside from humans that can really change and alter landscape to suit their needs. They can turn a medow or woods into a massive pond. So smart and adorable
Fantastic! It's good that in the midst of so much useless garbage sometimes a super video appears that is worth watching! Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Brazil.
BUT you have to have two things for a sound to be heard - the tree falling has to make the sound waves, but some ear has to be there to translate the sound waves from energy waves to something heard. So, no, if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one to hear it, there is no actual sound - only waves of energy.
Oh, so we redefine sound as “energy waves”. So you are saying light also = sound and the warmth of a curry fart spreading gently through an intellectual’s pants is also light because energy waves. It’s all vibrations man, peace man, like what if we’re all made of farts my friend, wow, all united people together just a big fart man Get off the internet Hippy
I love how many cool “skills” and traits these adorable beavers have. They’re smart, great swimmers (multiple anatomical features makes them great swimmers), expert builders, workaholics, have crazy chewing skills, and fun fact: beavers continue to grow in size their entire lives!
According to researchers at University of Arizona, beavers sometimes get killed felling trees. This happened when their heads get pinched by the upper part of the trunk sliding down on the lower part, a common result of a cut that is too even in height and depth.
until i saw this i never understood how they survived the felling. this is fantastic video, and you have great talent for getting this. i have seen small stuff chewed by them but never a tree, thanks for posting
I live in the middle of a large metropolis, near a modest but important and historical creek where I often walk my dog. Beavers are clearly thriving, and you see evidence of them by dozens of downed trees. Amazing to see in the middle of 5 million people.
1:00 This beaver graduated from the "Prometheus School of Running Away from things" by running almost into the path of the falling tree. To be fair, it's dark out so they can't see where it's falling.
Beavers cut down trees primarily for two reasons: food and construction. Beavers are well-known for their ability to alter their environment by building dams and lodges, and cutting down trees is an essential part of their construction process. Food: Beavers are herbivores, and their diet consists mainly of tree bark, twigs, and leaves. By cutting down trees, they gain access to the nutrient-rich inner bark of trees, which serves as their primary food source during the winter months when other vegetation is scarce. Construction: Beavers are skilled builders and create dams to create ponds or alter water flow. By cutting down trees, they gather materials such as logs and branches to construct their dams and lodges. These structures provide shelter and protection from predators. It's worth noting that beavers are considered ecosystem engineers because their activities can have significant impacts on their surrounding environment. While their tree-cutting behavior can sometimes be seen as destructive, it also creates new habitats for various species and can have positive effects on wetland ecosystems.
The Beaver knows when the tree is ready to fall . He feels the movement of the tree cut and then stops peeling the wood off and steeps back . Waiting for the tree to start cracking and starts falling . The he just steps to the side of the fall . The Beaver also knows about where he or she want to fall . What I dont really understand about Beavers they can tell from the tree where the tree wants to fall and the beaver could work around that . Another thing about Beavers that they know how to chissle away of a tree so when a tree falls their is no ckick back of the trunk . Amazing
AWESOME VIDEO there.....love to watch America's "backwoods" LUMBER-JACKS in action.....thanks for posting. Can't see enough of these awesome videos of these amazing workers in action!
We have them here, and they slap their tails on the water sometimes, which freaks me out sometimes when I'm at the lake a nighttime and can't see...lol.
Beavers are such amazing creatures. Entire ecosystems rely on their presence. When I was a young girl, our drive to school went by a small lake that was fed by a waterfall. We would often sit in traffic, and I would watch the beavers who made that pond their home industriously working to build their dams and lodges. It amazed me even as a young girl, and I fell in love with them. That lake was beautiful and healthy. There were fish and birds, all kinds of wildlife who lived near that small lake and many different kinds of flora. To a little girl's eyes, it seemed like a slice of heaven. After a few years, the nearby industries began dumping in that beautiful lake. The beavers left, and soon that entire lake was a dirty, scum filled body of water without life. All the plants died, as did the fish and the birds left. It was like Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in my little world. We all can do our part to keep waterways clean for these incredible little animals. I can't wait till RFK Jr. cleans up what we've done to this world. I've never forgotten what happened to that beautiful place and still love these amazing little creatures. ❤
See, God even created beavers to show us His glory & people still don’t see it. The intelligence, strength, persistence, engineering abilities, on & on. You are awesome God 🙌🥲

when the camera cuts: the beaver puts on a yellow hardhat, brings a diesel-powered generator, plugs a chainsaw twice his size into it, and carves a little dome into said tree 😂
I love beavers. Beavers are one of the few mammals that never stop growing. They have powerful incisors which are sharpened every time they chomp down trees or nibble on wood.
My Beaver tells me when to go fishing. If it's sleeping on its right side, I go and fish off the right bank. If it's sleeping on the left side, I go and fish off the left bank. If it's sleeping on it's back? I don't go fishing...

I'm 31 and thought it was just a cartoon thing from 90s... (we don't have them in Brazil) amazing
We have them here, and they slap their tails on the water sometimes, which freaks me out sometimes when I'm at the lake a nighttime and can't see...lol.
Beavers are such amazing creatures. Entire ecosystems rely on their presence. When I was a young girl, our drive to school went by a small lake that was fed by a waterfall. We would often sit in traffic, and I would watch the beavers who made that pond their home industriously working to build their dams and lodges. It amazed me even as a young girl, and I fell in love with them. That lake was beautiful and healthy. There were fish and birds, all kinds of wildlife who lived near that small lake and many different kinds of flora. To a little girl's eyes, it seemed like a slice of heaven. After a few years, the nearby industries began dumping in that beautiful lake. The beavers left, and soon that entire lake was a dirty, scum filled body of water without life. All the plants died, as did the fish and the birds left. It was like Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" in my little world. We all can do our part to keep waterways clean for these incredible little animals. I can't wait till RFK Jr. cleans up what we've done to this world. I've never forgotten what happened to that beautiful place and still love these amazing little creatures. ❤
See, God even created beavers to show us His glory & people still don’t see it. The intelligence, strength, persistence, engineering abilities, on & on. You are awesome God 🙌🥲
Bonjour 🐕 . Formidable comme ce Castor arrive à couper un arbre ,il connaît m'aime l’endroit où il va tomber. Les Animaux ont beaucoup à nous apprendre. Longue journée vie à tous les Animaux 🐕 🐕 🐕
Животные умнее людей
Now I want to see the rare footage where the beaver resorts to power tools.
Beaver needs no power tool.
Beaver IS a power tool. ^^
when the camera cuts: the beaver puts on a yellow hardhat, brings a diesel-powered generator, plugs a chainsaw twice his size into it, and carves a little dome into said tree 😂
These little guys have really strong teeth to cut a tree down. It's impressive to watch 🌲
Their teeth are reinforced with iron. That is why they appear orange.
Their teeth constantly grow, as they constantly wear them down.
Yep they have great dentist's
apostrophe for plural, ew
@@Pomodorosan Wow you must have a busy life
Amazing that they know the tree is about to drop. They can sense the vibrations put out by the tree, and they know to get the heck out of the way !!

Beavers are one of the coolest critters.
Such precision.
I wonder if he has a how to video.
Who is here because the short didn't show the whole video 😆😆
This was trippy being able to know the exact short you are talking about and knowing you are absolutely correct.
I remember the nights getting all geeked up and gnawing on the trees in the backyard. My nose,heart or neighbors don't miss those times.
A wee bit o' the nose candy, eh?
🤣
This is the very first time I see a real beaver on the internet.
The intelligent of a Beaver appears in this video. Not only cutting down trees. Very impressive!
Using a power chain saw is faster
Amazing critters. I love beavers.

Awesome video. It is so exciting to catch the moment the tree falls on tape.

0:24 Beaver hears the tree crack. Never takes another bite, gets out of the way, and lets it fall. Well done.
I would name him Justin.
This is absolutely Great & Hilarious!! Just curious: Why do the beavers cut down the trees?? I know they don't EAT them!!
Мне нравится, как он несколько раз делает паузу и глядит в камеру после покусываний, чтобы оператор мог сделать ему хороший снимок)
I wonder how many beavers have NOT survived the downing of a tree?
VERY few. Mr. Darwin's Method sees to that.
@DieFlabbergast I don't know the one in the video looked like it was close, he went the wrong way!
A dam lot
@@Uberaroundtheworld530 👍 Good one!
These busy animals can change landscape...like no other animal.
I like how it stops to hear the tree popping. So it know when to stop cutting and get the hell out of the way 😁👍🏾
animals can even hear the cam motor running. he's listening for the wood starting to crack, yes. and now, get out of the way!!
I love beavers. Beavers are one of the few mammals that never stop growing. They have powerful incisors which are sharpened every time they chomp down trees or nibble on wood.
Just as well that they don't live to be a hundred as they would be massive.
Beaver’s are actually rodents in fact there the 2nd biggest
Amazing footage
I like how he stops and looks around like he is being watched by an unblinking, cold piece of technology. Because he is.

He stops to listen to the cracking so he can get out of the way of the falling tree.
I know he is stopping to hear the cracks but I feel he knows the cam is there an goes “look what I can do!” He looks so adorable.
Another Beaver getting some wood on the internet. What a good old classic.

I love how he chews a little then looks at the camera.
It’s fascinating to watch the beaver listen for the first sounds of success. I knew they did this but I’ve never seen it before.

Ale fajny bober!
that's. so cute 🦫🪵🌳🌿 Love the beaver's .
Awesome, wetland engineering skills evolved over millions of years! 🤩🤩🤩
One year later, the beaver successfully milled 50, 2x4’s for Home Depot 😂😂
it always impress me.. how animals get this knowledge and how this knowledge can be passed.
DNA
My beaver just wants to sit in the house all day and watch TV!
🤣
My Beaver tells me when to go fishing. If it's sleeping on its right side, I go and fish off the right bank. If it's sleeping on the left side, I go and fish off the left bank. If it's sleeping on it's back? I don't go fishing...
Absolute genius the Beaver cutting down the tree and a superb Dam.
I love this creature! So cute and smart!
Never seen it done, never seen a tree fall, but born knowing how to do it, and born understanding gravity.
@@Travis12861It knew to run. It understood gravity, not physics.
Winona's got herself a big brown beaver
And she shows if off to all of her friends
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her
So she caged him up with a cyclone fence
Beavers are such amazing animals.
Just like humans.
They are horrible. Destroying trees is bad if you're not aware
@@rxz1 so what, humans destroy much more trees per year.
All Beavers are capable of handling the biggest log.
Ong I thought that last tree was gonna squash our little beaver pall 🌳🦫🌲
He is like checking is it gonna fall or not yet
You just gotta love ‘em
Every outdoor guy should have a beaver in his backpack 🤓
I love beavers
Have you ever eaten beaver?
@@stephenpain9236 if it’s clean
What awesome captures! Great work!
Bro is more intelligent than many adults.
Nice beaver! 😊
Thanks! I just had it stuffed this morning. 😮
Lol
0:10 his face tho 😂
🤓

try again
Im 32 and this is fascinating. When I was in school learning this I couldn't care less 😂
Clever little engineer 🥰🥰
Anyone come from the shorts that doesnt show the tree falling ?
Me
Also hi :)
Ah yes, the tree falls 👌
Him turning to look at the camera is too cute
