    A guy told a story here on YouTube about destroying a beaver dam. He had taken it down twice, trying to get the beavers to move away. The third time he walked down the path to the creek, the beavers had built a dam across the path.

    More stories like this one please! Nibby was like, “BYE, B****!” We’ve all been there, girl. Do what you need to do.

    She’s so adorable, love her little tantrums.

    The little hops. The being mad noise. All cute!
  • The reason why sounds of rain or running faucets causes Nibby to go into dam-building mode is because that's the biological 'trigger', if you will. The sound alone of running water drives beavers to construct dams. Even if it's an electronic speaker just playing the sound of running water, beavers will cover it with sticks and mud until the sound is suppressed enough.

    She's so cute and so very pleased with her little dam. How sweet.

    Once, as a teenager I was snorkeling in a river near home and a small beaver swam right up to my face mask and seemed quite curious about my intrusion. It startled me at first, but was clearly not a threat like a protective momma might have been.

    LOL.. omg she's so stinkin adorable 😍 💖 💕 💓 😘😘😘😘😘 I loved how she caught a sassy attitude when her handler carried her away from the door. 🤣🤣🤣 she sounded like a spoiled human child.
  • Beaver: "muhahaha, there's no way she can ever get back in here now that i built this!" * Joyful hops *

    Almost sounds like a human baby crying! I love how intelligent and happy-go-lucky Nibby is,and stories like this!!
  • Thank you Jeanne.!! A wonderful counterweight to the serious stuff. And reminding us all to laugh. There’s too little of that at present and it’s vital to a balanced life.

    This baby beaver is so cute and pretty! I could watch her all day long. I wish I could hold her and feel how soft her fur is.
  • Thank you for the story! We all need more happy news these days. That hop darn near broke me, it was so adorable! Cuteness overload.

    My friend worked for park services and dealing with determined beavers was the worst task! They would use brambles and poop to keep your from tearing up the dam. Even hiding the thorny stuff inside a pile of innocent sticks! They were tenacious and clever, and one beaver could change a whole landscape so quickly.
  • Person: "Why do you keep building damns everywhere?" Beaver: "Do you see any water flowing?" Person: "no." Beaver: "you're welcome."
