    I know I'm not the only one who was expecting some cozy paintings and furniture in there
  • That is amazing. I watch beavers every day, and I have often wondered what it looks like inside.

    i’m glad you all made this video! i just saw one where they tore up the lodge of beavers who were actively living in it and i thought it was just awful. i’m glad you all were gentle and considerate with this one

    Seeing the work of animals gives me an intense feeling of love for the natural world.

    My buddy had a trapline in Manitoba when he was a teen. He described swimming/crawling inside a recently-vacated lodge. When his head broke surface inside the tunnel he could see nothing, but felt hundreds of fleas jump onto his face, head and neck. He hadn't trapped the beavers out but noticed they had left of their own accord. Was it the ectoparasites?

    Beavers, one of GOD's mightiest ecosystem engineers, and mother nature a physics genius. I wish the EPA knew that. Hopefully, the next generation will 🐝 🙏
