Busy Beavers Build Dam Ahead of Winter | Yellowstone | BBC Earth

[@Yidaru]

It's very relaxing to see animals 🦫 living peacefully, innocently, and at the same time surviving wisely.

[@WhatsWrong221]

Nothing peaceful about this. From 2001 to 2023, there was a total of 488 Mha of tree cover loss globally, equivalent to a 12% decrease in tree cover since 2000 and 207 Gt of CO₂ emissions. In my opinion these beavers are as much to blame as anyone else. Guilt by association.

​@@domnicdsouza9774they prevent soil erosion, drough and forest fire. More importantly they preserve water resources.

[@snowysnowyriver]

​@@domnicdsouza9774. Beavers are what is called a "Keystone Species". That means by their very existence they positively impact the environment and create habitats for hundreds of different kinds of birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, insects, trees, vegetation, fungi, and flora. On top of that, they re-route water courses to fill underground aquifers, store water to alleviate drought and create natural fire-breaks to protect forests from wildfires. They are essential, and it is to mankind's lasting shame that they were almost hunted and hounded to extinction. Thankfully mankind has woken up and realised that many of the ecological ills caused by our wasteful selfish ways can be repaired by these incredible beautiful intelligent creatures. Harming them, killing them, or ill-treating them should be illegal the world over and punishable by a lengthy prison sentence. We need the beaver to help us repair the damage we have caused. Beavers have been around managing landscapes and ecosystems for around 10 million years. What they do is bred into their DNA and unlike the human species, they are not affected by greed, laziness, war, and sheer stupidity.

@@beatricecallan A beaver is a guinea pig - or you mean they’re not related? Anyway, I looked it up and beavers are rather unique: They are the only extant members of the family Castoridae. They originated in North America in the late Eocene and colonized Eurasia via the Bering Land Bridge in the early Oligocene. Genetically they’re closest related to the kangaroo rat, the kangaroo mouse and the gopher.

Beavers: Nature's Tiny Titans of Teamwork! (Prepare to Be Amazed by BBC Earth) BBC Earth, you've outdone yourselves again! This heartwarming documentary isn't just about beavers building a dam - it's a testament to the incredible power of cooperation and perseverance. Watching these industrious creatures work together is truly inspiring. Their dedication, discipline, and teamwork put human construction crews to shame! The way they meticulously transport logs, collaborate to create a watertight seal, and even build underwater canals showcases their remarkable problem-solving abilities. One commenter mentioned feeling emotional - I completely understand! There's something truly awe-inspiring about witnessing animals living in such peaceful harmony with their environment. Their innocent determination to survive the harsh winter is a beautiful reminder of the resilience of nature. This documentary is the perfect antidote to a stressful day.
