Twice as long =/= twice the size. How do the dams compare in terms of how much water each of the two retains? Basically how many tons of water is pressing up against each of the two dams. I doubt the beaver dam comes close to beating hoover dam.

When I was on a hike in a national park in Alberta, I came across a large pond with a beaver family and dam. Since I was on a hill and didn't intrude, I sat for about 1/2 hr and watched them. One beaver felled 5 trees in that time; it would transport each across part of the pond to another beaver who looked to be in charge of building the dam. It was amazing to watch how quickly the one chewed those trees down, as well as how well they worked together. An incredibly special moment in time for me. 😊

Okay, Terra Mater, but your statement at the end made it seem the Beaver Drop was cruel or otherwise inappropriate. The reason parachuting was chosen (over horses and mules) was to NOT be cruel. The drop site was so remote that a pack train would have overstressed the beavers, and far more would have died. It was days away, in the backcountry. Heat stress and confinement would have taken a greater toll. Also, they tested the theory with a beaver who made several jumps, enough to earn Airborne wings! Yes, he was called "Geronimo".

Aww. I remember when this crazy damn was discovered. The fact that this place was so remote that you could't go there in any reasonable way was so nice, no one would disturb them, ever.

A small riverside stop bank built around 1900 in Takaka NZ had it's original construction as loose water permeable stones to reduce, but not stop the flooding around town after a very large flood event so that the rest of the flood plain did not shoulder the extra burden of water. This was done in conjunction with the building of groan's along the riverbank to stabilize the channel. This also worked to filter out large debris from escaping the channel along with the planting of barberry riverside hedges downstream of this stop bank for the same effect. In the 100 following years silt, and trapped organic matter did build an earth shield on the topside of the bank till the original design effect was mostly lost.

Using hockey rinks to explain how much water was a bad choice; it just raises more questions about how much water that is. How deep is the water in the hockey rink? Only as deep as the ice? How deep is the ice? Speaking of ice, it is more voluminous than liquid water. So when you said hockey rinks, did you mean filled with liquid water or with ice?

[@Ciganypusztito-fc3ej]

duh its common knowledge that between 12,000 and 15,000 gallons or 45424.941408 and 56781.17676 litres.. DUHHHH

[@christianwilson3437]

Well, yeah, everyone knows beavers 🦫 play hockey, so they know.

[@iCortex1]

the video explicitly said 70,000 cubic meters, 1 cubic meter is 1000L of water ... the comparison is just for fun. Would you really have understood better if they said 9,000,000 cups of water or 700,000 toilet flushes ? The point is that's it's a crap ton of water ...

I am here to say this: "Not with parachutes" is a statement that ignores COMPLETLY the fact that all the transportation means back then put so much stress onto the beavers, they had high mortality rates. Why? because it took days, if not weeks, and the beavers would die, because they got too hot. The parachute method actually made them all survive, except Kevin, who only died because he thought "fuck that, I don't need a parachute!" and did the R. Kelly and just jumped off the plane, and just believed he could fly. You could say he was a petunia pot that had his first drop. So, when you say "via horse", then that is what they did back then, which killed the beavers. The only reason we can do it now with "mechnical horse" is the technological advance. If you want to throw shade, throw it with all the knowledge presented. Thank you very much.

[@chippysteve4524]

I agree.Who would want to be thrown about in a crate on horseback for hours? So typical of the mentality of humans- find something that works perfectly then stop doing it for 'reasons'.

[@wolfpecker5710]

@@chippysteve4524right? And let’s not pretend like Beavers knew they were being dropped out of a plane anymore than they know they are on horseback…. They just know that ones way quicker and way less traumatic than the other way 🤦‍♂️

[@soapyork9356]

Wow, this is amazing to stumble upon. I live in Hailey, Idaho which is very close to Baugh creek and have even ridden my ATV past that creek multiple times hunting or scouting for Elk and deer. I've seen the beaver dams out there and let me tell you, they build so well they flood the ATV paths around the area during the seasonal melts. The ATV trails open back up at the end of this month (they close them during herd migration for deer/elk) and I look forward to checking in on the descendants of the "Airborne Beaver Brigade!"

[@terramater]

We're glad to hear that you liked our video and can even witness these beavers in action around your home! 🤩 It's indeed fascinating how much effort beavers put into constructing their dams, even to the extent of causing seasonal flooding. This only speaks to the immense impact they have on their surroundings.

It strikes me more and more how everything lives mostly in harmony except HUMANS.

[@coreym162]

Who says? We kind of do the same things. Like what's going on in Southern California. The animals follow a corridor of human development down from the Sierras into the Salton Sea and Mexico. Just because, we can damage the environment doesn't mean it's all we do. To think destruction is all we do then don't get mad when another human wrongs you because, they share your unhealthy ideology of "Human bad".

[@ElderRaven]

@@coreym162 sorry didn't mean to trigger you lol

Have you not heard of predators? There are many types of animals that chase other animals down, kill them and eat them. That's not living in harmony.
