Water: Flows. Beavers: .. and I took that personally.

This'd be a dam nice place for a pond...
jakrabid
Amazing PBS doc talks about this at 11 min mark. Whole thing is worth a watch. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3umwir
Draciella
Well dam
extremisttt
Cue that trumpet music
sordatos
.... I mean from the same extra simplistic point of view, we see a forest and say "this shit has to go"
GayLad158
Fun fact: beavers build dams so that they can make a pond to live in. https://www.nps.gov/articles/buildabeaverdam.htm
Azathought
That's is a pretty dam fun fact.
burnwiner
Sound just like my mom: - Stop this nonsense and build a dam
fouchagalaga
You gotta leave it to beaver
DoubleChungTransplant
There's a documentary about beavers called "leave it to beaver a"
theguywiththevoice
Ward,you were really hard on the beaver. Sorry, June, I'll pick up lube on the way home tonight
Deadpoolisfunny
Nestle is the same way
Vockstar
ThePastmaster
They make a dam to create an artificial lake so they can build their safehouses in.
Zahnradfee
^ This.

Dammit that’s cute.
swedeonamoose
as a landowner i really have a love/hate relationship with em, they are cool animals and cute as hell but they also cause tons of damage
bumflaps2012
Beavers are big and also have big teeth. I don't fuck with Beavers.
swedeonamoose
i deal with beavers like how humans often deal with problems, you stay in your place and we cool, you come here and i will shoot and eat you
MarshallDaemon
Sounds like you're a cannibal
JacobKreutzfeldt
Or a necrophilliac.
swedeonamoose
for human cases we use the old and proven skjut, gräv, tig. shoot, dig, keep your mouth shut :D
CanIstartlifeover
That fucking ”skjut, gräv, tig” got me lol
soumiike
Man I know exactly what you mean. I have a place on the Mn/Ontario border & they can be just brutal.
swedeonamoose
lol ye, went up to my hunting cabin after 1 year away and had a small lake where it used to be a nice little fishing stream -.-
Zahnradfee
You also will have baby beavers.
Melusin
I watched beavers turn 2 streams no bigger than 2ft across into shallow lakes/huge ponds over 10 years. So many aquatic insects and leeches
aslanlives
Beavers are, apparently, responsible for the best, most fertile farmland in NA by the eventual silting in of their ponds. 1
aslanlives
It's unfortunate we see them as a nuisance in our quest to dominate landscapes. There are programs in US west to reintroduce them 2
IsaacNuetron
It's the sound of running water. Beaver have built dams on speakers playing water sounds.

IsaacNuetron
Oh, no...maybe you'll just have to look yourself.
ExTechOp
It is interesting how high-level, seemingly intelligent actions animals can do just on instinct.
mroranges
But doesn't that just tell us that beavers know what running water sounds like?
SilverAura
Apparently they'll build dams even on concrete over a speaker of running water. lol
Eohor
Is there a study about that, this is something I want to read !

PBS has an amazing doc Leave it to Beavers. At the 11 min mark they use speakers to guide them to build dams away from culverts.

Well I’ll be damned..
mindolluin
only if you sound like running water
IsaacNuetron
You're fine, Brooke.
MaadMaanMaatt
I’d stream that
PresidentOfMexico
Water you doing later?
Targe0
Just going with the Flow, Sea how things play out.
UndoneDuncan
Why? Do you sound like running water?
yzmotoxer807
Came here to say that +1
ThatShiftyMonkey
A few times a day, yeah.
Myowngrampa
Literally always. I'm that one species from futurama made of water
YoSamiteSam
So you're telling me if I had enough beavers I could control them using sound to build some sort of beaver architecture mega structure?
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
We can call it The Fortress of Dam and give them all bright orange jumpsuits, and perfect our evil laughs while they toil.
ProfDrDrSpiderpig
D..do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to?
YoSamiteSam
Are you Nancy Pelosi? Because she is fine. Great pair of milkers. Speaker of the house, more like SOTHILF.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
YoSamiteSam
He's okay I guess. From the other side of a glory hole, I bet he sucks it like a hungry baby goat. I'll tape up a poster of Nancy Pelosi.
Markuspsyches
So we just need to line our southern border with speakers and get them to build a wall to keep those Americans out?
bril350
Oh god if a beaver found niagra falls....
Myowngrampa
I like the way you think
randomwalrus
Yeah, but who is going to pay for it?
YoSamiteSam
CHINA

Later, you'll have plenty of opportunities to get beaver skins. They used to be used as money once.
Occhio
If would be interesting to see how deaf beavers get on with their dam building
Isthe4thtimethecharm
Animals with disabilities like that usually don't make jt to adulthood. But I suppose it could happen
Occhio
True, but they do have a decent chance of ending up in a wildlife refuge or a zoo. Those animals usually have awesome personalities.
ChinesiumWuhanJones
That’s quite ableist.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
No that is natural selection. If you can't hear a predator sneak you are food.
ApotheosisCM
Nature is ableist.
