Beavers can make life a little complicated for humans, but beaver dams help recharge the water tabled and help restore /create wetland that many birds, fish, animals and plants need. beaver dams also help small stream flow all year instead of drying up in late summer.

[@thomasslock8793]

How does a stream "flow" when it is damned? Beavers are very destructive in farmland. Also beaver ponds are stagnant and although they foster fish for awhile the warmer water on the upstream side is a breeding ground for algae which inevitably chokes oxygen out of the water. I've literally caught over 300 beavers in my lifetime. They've got their place, but a stream that runs thru a corn field isn't it.

He's so smart. He knows to put the support at the back to secure the mud. Also fascinating to see how the beaver uses his body weight to compact the structure, making it stronger.

The reason they seem so agitated even when water isnt flowing through the hole you made is they listen for flowing water and dont really stop till its silenced

[@JohnMcMahon.]

Can you imagine the first Beaver to ever build a Dam?.. He must’ve been sitting by the pond for years watching the water slowly trickle down stream, then one day he gets a “lightbulb moment”, *HEY KIDS, YO, KIDS, Grab those sticks, go get your brothers & sisters and grab all those sticks.* *HEY HONEY, COME GIMME A HAND WITH THIS LOG.* Now that guy is a true pioneer.
