    In Canada, a beaver family has built a dam extending 850m - that’s more than twice as long as the Hoover Dam. It’s so big it can be seen from outer space. But that’s not the only reason NASA is interested in this architecturally minded species… Increasing diversity and resilience, not to mention creating wetlands, are just some of the impacts beavers can have on their surroundings. What does this mean for the wider environment? And how can we humans learn from it?

      Twice as long =/= twice the size.
      How do the dams compare in terms of how much water each of the two retains? Basically how many tons of water is pressing up against each of the two dams.
      I doubt the beaver dam comes close to beating hoover dam.

    When I was a kid, beavers were almost extinct where I live. Beavers were my favourite animal when I was a kid, so I went from door to door in my town to collect money to donate. Nowadays, we have more and more beaver families living in our country. Of course my donations were just a small effort and probably didn't do much, but I like to think that I also helped to save the beavers :)

    I am here to say this: "Not with parachutes" is a statement that ignores COMPLETLY the fact that all the transportation means back then put so much stress onto the beavers, they had high mortality rates. Why? because it took days, if not weeks, and the beavers would die, because they got too hot. The parachute method actually made them all survive, except Kevin, who only died because he thought "fuck that, I don't need a parachute!" and did the R. Kelly and just jumped off the plane, and just believed he could fly. You could say he was a petunia pot that had his first drop.
    So, when you say "via horse", then that is what they did back then, which killed the beavers. The only reason we can do it now with "mechnical horse" is the technological advance. If you want to throw shade, throw it with all the knowledge presented.
    Thank you very much.

    The way they build their lodges is unbelievable, they make the entrances underwater, basically creat a moat if they have to but leaving the roof loose to get fresh air just seems so amazing to me. They make these 98% water tight dams but then know when to leave the sticks loose for the roofs. Very cool in my opinon.

This video also made me remember the absurd "beaver drop" in 1948 Idaho, the program to relocate beavers from northwestern Idaho to central Idaho (so this was a nice update for me). We got beavers around our summer cottage, but they don't build dams (most beavers in Finland don't). Beavers are soooo nice. And they apparently taste ok, too, one hunter told me.

      Or if you live down steam from it and the damn let go would be good. As the video says, it's twice the size of the Hoover Dam and hoover Dam holds 28.9 million acre-feet of water

    A small riverside stop bank built around 1900 in Takaka NZ had it's original construction as loose water permeable stones to reduce, but not stop the flooding around town after a very large flood event so that the rest of the flood plain did not shoulder the extra burden of water. This was done in conjunction with the building of groan's along the riverbank to stabilize the channel. This also worked to filter out large debris from escaping the channel along with the planting of barberry riverside hedges downstream of this stop bank for the same effect. In the 100 following years silt, and trapped organic matter did build an earth shield on the topside of the bank till the original design effect was mostly lost. Watching this video I can see similarity's in the approach to different hydrology problems. We don't necessarily have to have hard solutions to engineering problems.

      Nope.
      Beaver tooth enamel has calcium phosphate too - a crystal structure called hydroxylapatite.
      It is the material that surrounds the hydroxylapatite that contains minerals such as magnesium or iron.
      Beaver tooth enamel just has significantly more iron in this surrounding material that makes it more durable and resists acidic erosion better.

    Wow, this is amazing to stumble upon. I live in Hailey, Idaho which is very close to Baugh creek and have even ridden my ATV past that creek multiple times hunting or scouting for Elk and deer. I've seen the beaver dams out there and let me tell you, they build so well they flood the ATV paths around the area during the seasonal melts. The ATV trails open back up at the end of this month (they close them during herd migration for deer/elk) and I look forward to checking in on the descendants of the "Airborne Beaver Brigade!"

    Using hockey rinks to explain how much water was a bad choice; it just raises more questions about how much water that is. How deep is the water in the hockey rink? Only as deep as the ice? How deep is the ice? Speaking of ice, it is more voluminous than liquid water. So when you said hockey rinks, did you mean filled with liquid water or with ice?

    Beaver dams can also make floods worse.
    I work in an area with a lot of beaver dams, and they have a tendency to trap a lot of water, then collapse during high precipitation periods. It creates a huge surge of water that knocks out bridges, roads, and even knocks down trees along the water.

    • @terramater
      @terramater  11 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Hi @VPCh., we appreciate your insight and understand that the impact of beavers and their dam-building activities can vary greatly depending on local conditions and contexts. While there can definitely be challenges like the ones you've outlined, beavers also play a significant role in creating wetlands, increasing biodiversity, and even contributing to climate resilience. Balancing these benefits with potential risks like flooding is certainly crucial. Thanks for sparking an important discussion and we hope our content can contribute to a broader understanding of our ecosystem. ❤️🦫

      But of course, as with any natural system, their impact is too complex to be classified as entirely positive or negative to our way of life. Which was what I was hoping to point out in my comment.

    I work in wetland restoration and found a beaver “garden” where they had built up a narrow dirt mound around a cluster of willows to make a shallow pond with a small straight drainage channel. At first glance it seemed too intentional and man-made, but just beaver engineering. Some of the willows had been eaten down or harvested and others were flourishing, they were definitely cultivating a garden.

    Can’t remember where I heard it, but I remember reading that the large pony sized beavers of ancient South America built, huge dams that created gigantic lakes, so big it changed the earths wobble!

    Am I really supposed to believe that there was a film crew ready to capture a Beaver existing a wooden box that had just parachute landed at an unforeseen exact location seconds prior? How stupid did they think the population was back then?

    He never actually said the beaver died he just said that one didn’t have a safe landing. Hoping the poor little guy was only injured but managed to survive the drop!
