How Do Beavers Build Dams? | Nature on PBS

[@333dog]

Beavers are so insanely underrated. If you really think about it it’s mind boggling they even exist.

[@sidequest256xD]

Exactly! Very Unique Creatures.

[@James-kv6kb]

Just because you like beavers ,we should have thousands of KZbin channels put up we should have posters on building saying we love beavers we should have news programs spending 24-hours a day to talk about Beaver issues , we should have a beaver appreciation month every year, maybe we could have a brown ribbon day to show support for transgender bevers or maybe you could grow up and stop using internet cash phrases because it makes you sound very dumb

[@Insightful_Inquiries]

Yep Like everything else They are obviously of intelligent design. May the most Holy, Most Sacred, most Adorable, most Incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Alter.

indeed. engineers. your observation seems sound.

[@nmelkhunter1]

Civil engineers. The rest of the disciplines are moot without roads, bridges, damns, etc.

[@gelato73agustin24]

I love all animals and insects we have pollinators and these engineers they make new water ways to get fish to places that the bears need to eat, sometimes to go the extra mile.

[@RedStreak29]

I read this in animal research report once, and this is so interesting that beavers are highly intelligent like us as well. "In some ways, beavers are similar to humans in that they change their environment to suit themselves. They often place stones at the base and seal the dam on the upstream side with mud and plants. The amazing thing is that *they even make the dams thicker at the bottom and with a shallow slope on the upstream side*. Any engineer will tell you that *this efficiently distributes the weight of the water allowing the dam to hold back huge volumes of water*."

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I love beavers. They make the cutest little sounds, like grumbling.💕

[@noahway13]

Me also. I've not seen one in real life for a long time.

[@Lividbuffalo]

Have you met the honey badger

[@glorifythyname7777]

Very important animals these dam builders, because they help prevent drought and provide a water source for other animals during drought

[@Lumi.S]

and we people remove them

[@MrColbrot]

@@Lumi.S yes we have to. otherwise they cause widespread problems. Just think about it, you cant trap water above the dam, without drying out the other side. They are a big problem for culverts as well. Maybe out in the vast wilderness, but not near our infrastructure.

[@michelejankelow617]

Amazing animals with so much knowledge and understanding of their environment. We should learn from this!!

[@JuanJesus-fo9vy]

Our ancestors already did humans learned from animals

[@niallreid7664]

Learn? Have you seen Hoover dam?

[@sajidkhot8414]

These are rodents belonging to, Genus: Castor Family: Castoridae. Highly intelligent, very gentle, semiaquatic, second largest living rodents, that modify their habitat. Truly shows sense like an engineer, when it comes to building dams with sticks, branches, saplings, rocks, etc.... These dams provide fresh/new habitat for various aquatic creatures. They consequently have a large impact on the biodiversity of an area. Hope this information, in short, helps many students.... Best Wishes... (Sajid Khot)

I owe ya one buddy, thanks

Shut up just shut up i hate zoology i don't want to read that i hate systematic positions

[@adnanahmad101]

they not only provide water during drought but also help to stop wildfires.

[@edwardwong654]

I love beavers. They are brilliant engineers and very hard working. I love that video where a pet beaver drags a christmas tree and just about everything inside a home to build a dam. You can take the beaver out of a brook but you can't take the brook out of the beaver. Great and cute animal.

[@tjbol]

@@googgnik evolution… LOL!!

[@jolovesmusichz2827]

@@googgnik These beavers are not as intellectually smart as humans yet they have a natural ability to successfully create dams with only the natural resources their little bodies can find. I can't convince myself that these beautiful and cute little creatures developed this thinking ability by random chance, adaptation, or mutation. It just doesn't add up how the knowledge of successfully building a dam would be in their animal brains.

[@kitsachie.]

​@@googgnik There's too much coincidence in life to say it's all random chance. You don't have to believe in a higher power but there's overwhelming evidence that our earth was created and cultivated.
