Amazing Up Close Beaver Encounter (April 28, 2024)

This video shares an incredible close-up encounter. I had with two wild beavers. I was sitting very still and quiet on the riverbank for quite a long time and I think the beavers forgot I was near. As you will see, I had placed a camera on the sand to get a water level video of one beaver, and the second beaver walked right over the camera. I was able to quickly grab it and dry it off with no damage done. I treasure of these close-up beaver encounters and I hope this video helps you share the experience.

I’m neither a Canadian nor a beaver, but I endorse Mike’s Videos! They’re terrific. Thank you.

Thanks. Your videos are quite blissful. I find myself entering the mind of the beaver. No rush, enjoying life.

[@arroulford403]

It’s amazing how they didn’t seem to mind that you were there.

He is part of their family after all these years!

If I am quiet enough and still enough, I think they forget I’m nearby.

[@gracelill1539]

So cool that they trust you that much!

[@ed.puckett]

amazing, you must have such a peaceful demeanor. really cool!

[@mikesvideosofbeavers]

I’m peaceful around animals …. When humans are around I’m basically an asshole. 😀😀

We should start a gofundme to get him documentary quality filming equipment

[@mikesvideosofbeavers]

That’s a nice thought, but I would never bother learning how to use it. I am a point-and-shoot camera guy only. I still use a flip-phone camera.

Was the beaver saying " This thing I tripped over smells like that guy! " because that's what I heard.

Great video!

[@mikesvideosofbeavers]

Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍

You're lucky the camera wasn't carried into the sea 🤭

[@HenritheHorse]

Better not have a wooden tripod!

[@decyattysyachpchyol]

Too bad it wasn't, as it could've become part of a great dam and film the beavers from a dam's perspective. On the other hand, we would see none of it.

I’ve dropped three cameras into the water since I started this hobby, I’m glad I didn’t lose another one to this Beaver tail.
