Amazing Video of a Beaver Chewing a Large Tree Trunk

This beaver was working very hard to try to bring down this large poplar tree. She moved around a bit which gave me the chance to film her working from different viewpoints. Busy as a beaver, they say.

You’re so damn right! (LOL “dam”!) They have such a don’t-care attitude that some beavers will carelessly chew down a tree only for it to fall on them:

[@jeffmullinix7916]

That is not true . A beaver will keep chewing untill they have it chewed half way all around . Then they start chewing on one side . They will then chew a bit and stop . They will Listen to hear creeking noise . then if none heard then they go back at it . They also know wind directions and the speed . They know also kown the direction of the fallen tree .

I had a pet Beaver once . I raised him from a baby . When he got older and bigger he started chewing . The first thing went down was my wifes dancing poll . Then one evening he chewed all the legs on our bed . One evening after work and when I got home he had chewed one of the legs on my dinning room chair and I did not know it . I went down like a box of rocks . One time I seen my couch laying on the floor with no legs . The bath tub was full of water and all the parts was damed up on one end . It was time for him to go . Took him to the Zoo . Poor Chester .

Have we ever noticed? They can "fall" a tree so well..ya never see chewed trees propped up on others as though they fell into them. Only stumps remain and I could be wrong , but they have better skills than some dudes I've worked with.

[@movme]

Here in northern Minnesota, I've seen MANY trees that have been only partially felled by beaver because they got hung up in other trees. There are also occasions when a beaver doesn't get out of the way fast enough so it gets caught under its own fallen tree and killed. They definitely have skills and a great work ethic, but they don't always win.

[@JohnDoe-kf7md]

Have you sat around to see how they transfer those big trees 🌲? do they cut them into smaller chunks, just leave it or go get a beaver gang to carry it? Also you should leave out a camera somehow to capture the full process from beginning to end of them chopping down a tree and shorten/speed up the video. Would make for a cool Timelapse.

[@movme]

The beaver only take what it can eat or move on its own. It eats a lot of the bark as well as some of the leaves and small branches. The bulk of the huge tree trunk is not used because it is far too large for the beaver to move. For a huge tree like this, it might take many days - nights, actually - for the beaver to complete felling it. It will leave, perhaps even for a few days to do other things, then come back to continue chewing on the large tree, so in all it can take a long time before the process is finished. And sometimes, for various reasons, the beaver never comes back to finish the job it started. Capturing the full process from beginning to end would be a challenge, especially if there is bad weather.

[@DRBarber88]

Is he going to drag that entire trunk to the water?

No, it was very close to vehicles so the University wrapped the tree and then used machines to take it down carefully.

[@GrandTreasureBay]

@@mikesvideosofbeavers it's great that all remained safe. That would be quite the tree to see a beaver bring down!

[@jeeva2348]

I too had this question,when I saw the video.

[@catastrophucked]

You stopped recording before the tree fell over, WHY?

[@robbieking4070]

Why do they chew down trees that size? They’re way too heavy to drag to build a dam, right? Or is it that they chew them down to get at the branches?

[@mikesvideosofbeavers]

Once the tree falls the beavers will take all the branches for a winter food cache. From a tree branch they will eat the twigs, leaves, new bark, and the cambium (which is the layer of new growth of wood just under the bark). The bare wood left behind will either be used for building material, if needed, or will be left to float away.

[@sarahkates1384]

Wow, that’s an ambitious beaver! Would it be able to move that tree once it falls? Looks so heavy.

[@mikesvideosofbeavers]

No, he could not move a big tree like this. When they are getting ready for winter they take down a big tree and then remove the branches one by one and take the branches back to their pond to make a food cache for winter. And they will cut off manageable chunks of the trunk to drag back as well, and eat all the bark off the large parts they can't move. The tree will be well used.
