I love beavers.

Beaver dams help ecosystems​

Beaver dams benefit not only their creators but many other species as well. "Beaver dams help slow water down and keep it on the landscape longer," Fairfax said. "This transforms simple streams into thriving wetland ecosystems. The amount of food and water available in their wetlands makes them ideal habitat for many different species. That's part of why beavers are what's known as a keystone species."

And would love to visit some.

Why do beavers build dams?

And do the rodents live in these wooden structures?

One of the loveliest sights ever.

God created some amazing creatures didn't he? One way I reinforce my belief in Gods existence is just the vast differences in the species here on earth. Wouldn't such rare, perfect conditions for life which earth possesses ensure fairly generic and similar species? Instead we have beavers, ants, bees and all the very wonderful and quite different creatures. Interesting fact, beavers are protected in Canada.

They were hunted to near extinction in Britain.

But now there are concerted efforts to protect them and reintroduce them to the wild.

Because of the ability of their fur to naturally repel water, their pelts were the most sought after for making hats ... in a period were every man owned at least one hat.

I think even the French sailed over the Pond in search of beaver habitats, to hunt for the fur.

No beavers in Oz. We do have the Platypus but they don't build dams that I know of.

Are those two related?

I know the beaver is classified under rodent.

Not sure what you're rambling on about, because beavers are destructive sons of bitches.

In Kentucky, beavers would dam up our creeks, and destroy sections of our forest. They'd flood up our roads periodically because of their dams. Culverts were blocked, and as a result, some of our bridges washed out. When we had a very heavy rain in 2016, a beaver dam diverted all the water over our crops, wiping them out.

So we came up with a solution. We created a beaver gestapo. All beavers found were shot at first sighting. Beavers dams were loaded up with tannerite and oil, and blown up in puffy fireballs. Damn those furry sons of bitches.

And yet..you give the TRUE destructive Sons of bitches a pass.....
Maybe if your "final solution" was used against humans the world would be a FAR safer place?
I think Hitler was all for your "Final solutions" against other living things.

In case you don't understand the "rambling"....Beavers don't do NUKES
So which is more "destructive"? Beavers or Humans?

BTW...it's a bit arrogant to say 'OUR Forests" since the forests belong to all things that live there. Human arrogance <smh>

It would be mumbling but the sound is different when typed.

When I was a kid, we'd see beavers on my aunt's farm. They certainly were fascinating to watch.
