@tss9886 Do you know which town that was, or what area it was in?

Uh tell em to let them beaver be n make town called lake ville , city, town , burg , etc n make beavers tge town mascots helped n make it sFe for all downstream or remove tge peole I'd like to know what usa would look like if tge fur trade and rail n Buffalo hide industry didn't happen no logging but beavers just nature n native Americans if no otger country's invaded I e no European or later day oriental or Polynesian emigratikns , it'd be a wTer world tge Buffalo would be more like water Buffalo because tge beaver would ve flooded most rivers into series of ponds lks n reservoirs add say 500 yrs of no beaver trade theyed be huge , 100lb + common 6 ft easy yikes what suits a beaver fur suit wow.the forests would be lush n undeserved by bugs or fires or just mans excessive cutting forests into fsrms

Yup big beaver, Buffalo , bears , wolves deer elk moose,no highways no bridges otgervtgan those augmented by man of beavers dams get bug leave em alone tge fish would thick n big everything would still be clean unpolluted free heaven on esrth u can't get-away from us now but we will go tgevway of the beaver and tge Buffalo tgebears wolves elk n moose were huge n healthy n happy only few million natives to feed today theland n water n sky are all polluted as man's greed has destroyed tge very earths naturL paradise .if only tgecworld leaders would learn of course now its too late we've overgrown or natural environment for too long it will win but boi those nuclear plants oil refinerys n drilling fields n all chemical plants n huge open mines the environmental degradation caused is our combined suffering to us all.

While the Sierra Club Liberals are patting themselves on the back over beavers, what about their stupid laws that prevent HUMANS from building dams on these streams?

Who'd have thought nature knows how to nature better than we do

Most nature does nature better than the majority of humans who are in power. Most of the humans that don't have power tend to live in better harmony with the environment around them, unless they have been coerced into abandoning traditional stewardship.

@@paulkarp958 😋

No. Absolutely bass akwards. It was not fur trappers that led to the decline of beavers it was there eradication by land owners that want to grow other things t on the land. Economics and mis "managment" not over trapping. Popular mis-conception of reality. I don't trap anymore as it is done nowadays is cruel and inhumane but is totally in line with a natural state of life.Fur is not murder but it's not pretty either. Like a wolf feeding. Not pretty but natural.

a likely theory

Yes. Interestingly the hunting, trapping of them coincided with the overgrazing by cattle... Cattle got all the blame....

@@amberandrews6842 Trapping did not cause the demise of beaver habitat. That was anti trapping propaganda. Humuns did trap, shoot, blow up dams etc to remove the beavers to turn valuble muck land into grazing and crop land. Fur trappers for the most part don't want to remove all beavers from one pond.

@@timothylongmore7325 i was thinking more along the hundred or so years that led up to the colonization of the United States it was a very profitable area for furs and lumber for the French, Spanish, English, and early Russians. To be fair probably can't blame any group in particular because we are talking about a way of thinking that only saw abundance of resources that to them could never change. We know allot more now so we try to do more to restore or preserve wetlands and there animals. Though considering things of heard in documentaries and such and just from general knowledge of how agricultural changed the Mississippi River valley and the loss of wetlands that entailed over several large agricultural redevelopment projects, that a much larger portion of the United States was what most would consider marsh land or seasonal marshes which was probably related allot to beavers in a way or would atleast allow for larger populations of them.

And that is exactly what they will do!! Dam it! 😂

So you really believe you can throw beavers in a desert with no trees or brush or food for them and this will happen? That's what you believe? It's bs honey lol. That's not how it works in reality.

If you ask people in areas with significant numbers of beavers, they're a destructive PITA and cost millions to control and repair their damage.

People like to sell there timber. That's why they pay their taxes. Goverments should compensate land owners for losses and also for not harvesting old growth instead of subsidising farmers to grow corn for instance. Win win.

​@@timothylongmore7325I don't see why land owners should be able to fully exploit land economically without consideration for nature. In the end it's mostly about protecting people from their own stupidity.

@@GunterZochbauer In the US , land owners have to pay their taxes to retain ownership of their property. Those with limited means have to sell timber in many case to make these payments. Some would rather not but are compelled to. Beavers are in direct conflict with this. I agree that nature should come first but If the payments aren't made and the "owner" loses the land to the state they can proceed in almost any way they deem prudent. Such as eradication, relocation or nothing at all. It doesn't matter ( economically) to them. My point is if that money was spent with the planets priority in mind the beavers could do what they deem proper and land owners would be compensated for their lost revenue in the form of tax breaks etc. Currently farmers are paid %50 of there yield for growing corn, soy beans and another I can't recall. Corn is almost the worst thing that's grown. Don't get me started on military spending by the USA. Our priorities are pretty messed up.

@@timothylongmore7325 I don't know about these things in the US, but I understand. It's the responsibility of the government to not punish people who work with nature.

Most likely. Swans, after all, need ponds and lakes to swim on, and we've gotten rid of a heluvalota them by hunting beavers almost to extinction. I'm thrilled to know they're making a comeback. This could be a huge help in mitigating global warming. After all, a pond is a lot cooler than a desert.

We're learning!

Nothing like a wet beaver.

Nope. I am a conservationist and worked for the park service. They can be very destructive themselves, clearing out whole groves in short periods. Or a threat to native species by cutting them down and allowing invasives in. Sometimes, they have to be tthinned or relocated. There was just nothing at risk here. Ecology is complex and "nature good, humans bad" narrative is uninformed.

Humans make mistakes.

Beavers won't live in rivers that are planted with razor wire.

That's not even remotely funny. There was much devastation and loss of life. Over 10,000 head if cattle perished.

Speak to Canada

That's just the first wave wait till we send in the moose calvary and timber wolf units lol. Those potatoes will be our 🇨🇦🦫 lol jk

From the uk….we have a problem with flooding. Beavers are being released in various parts of the country to slow the flow of water and restore natural habitats. Their release is massively regulated by the Government. But it seems to be working……some landowners making money off giving tourists a show around of their projects. Maybe their introduction will even out your soggy winters and dry summers?

Good job! Really, when we think about it, people could do a lot better in where building are located so that everyone benefits!

lol

How else did you interpret it?

😂

Same I was like WHAT? A beaver in a desert??

@@shifty1927 idk he was like dropping beavers on a desert

As shown in the video, nbeavers are flexible and can use stone, small vegetaion and loam too to build a second class damn. And once the land recovered enough, trees will start to grow on they own.

There are plenty of desert plants, at least in the US, both native and imported. The following I have seen growing happily in wild or cultivated areas in the Sonoran desert: mesquite, paloverde, acacia, desert willow, cottonwood (riparian), ironwood, various citrus and nuts, palm trees, some conifers, desert hackberry, Texas ebony, eucalyptus (invasive), carob, figs, laurels, peaches, etc. Some true willows do well in riparian areas as well. This doesn't even account for woody shrubs and for saguaros which have woody stems inside and long agave flower stalks, corn stalks, and the like. Go further north or to higher elevations and you get more typical temperate climate plants. About the only one of these I can't see beavers considering using as a building material at some phase of its life cycle (or after it passes) is the ironwood, and that is because even human tools can find it hard to cut (and even then, deadwood would be useful as it doesn't float away). Very few deserts are truly wholly devoid of life, and where there have been streams before, there likely are in fact woody shrubs and/or trees of some sort. Also, seasonal monsoon rains bring flash floods which can carry whole trees down ephemeral streams until they get stuck. That deadwood can then be harvested by beavers.

Drought resistant trees and regular will grow along streams and small river beds to underground river beds. You’ll suddenly see tree groves to a line of trees in the desert. Would go to a small forest/grove in the Arizona desert where an earthquake back in the 1800s made the river there go underground. It’s the American desert not the Sahara with sand dunes everywhere. Even Death Valley has life in it, although us humans wouldn’t last long in it without a large enough water supply.

I know the exact stream, it now has clump-willows {Bebb's willows, lemon willows, basket willows} and other shrubs. There are dams made of sagebrush or rabbitbrush {desert shrubs} within 2 miles of me--this stream is less than 25 miles-and the beavers eat the cattails that rise up with the increased water. The beaver came UPstream from the Humboldt River {small stream} that always has some water.

@@samarnadra Also, there are many seeds in the soil along the streams, and they can start sprouting new plants and trees once the water starts to spread out from the stream because of beaver activity.

I saw a documentary or two about what happened with the wolves when they were re-established in Yellowstone. I saw for myself on several trips there what the wolves had done to restore the forests. It was amazing. Beavers, wolves, and a few others are keystone species, and it's remarkable what happens when they are protected in the wilderness.

@@wendyscott8425 thewolves have decimated every species except the grizzly . It just another attack on the food supply , the commies screech with hysterical hatred when s human is able to eat clean healthy meat, and grow their own veggies eggs and milk.

@@wendyscott8425❤❤❤

I think Canada sent beavers somewhere in Europe or the UK maybe both and South America I think, sorry probably drinking during that documentary.

@@shawnbell3468 You’re right. Some beavers were sent to England and other European countries because those people had killed off all the local beavers and wanted to bring them back, often for flood control. Then they found that countries like Romania still had European beavers, so they’re now relocating some of those. (Relocation is hard on the beavers, and the entire family must go together. Beavers are monogamous and very family oriented.) Beavers native to North America were shipped to South America as a money-grubbing effort, which didn’t work. However, the beavers are considered invasive there now.

California is finally getting some beavers to repopulate its streams. I'm especially happy about the beavers in streams that feed Mono Lake. They could make all the difference in the lake's water level as they build and maintain the water in ponds, contributory streams, and aquifers, not to mention greening up the area.

Sounds good, and I've been to California, it could use a little green.

@@kgrimm5576 Exactly. And a little more water.

And those willows will attract beavers who will happily take over maintenance. 😂

You can't put bald Beaver's in the desert they will sunburn badly and nobody wants a scorched beaver.

If they build a pond on your upstream neighbors land they are great for flood control. If they build on your land, not so much.

In a desert with literally no plants I think people need to do a little restoration first and then bring in the furry bois

I live right close. They make dams from desert sagebrush and desert rabbitbrush, filled-in with cattails and they eat cattails and bullrushes. There are some clump-willows that grew back from down "river" {small river-Humboldt River}, where the beavers came from-

We call it beaver fever

@@robertanderson5092 Beavers are not the cause of guardia, but the parasites can infect them too.

Beavers are literally awesome! Beavers are considered a keystone species because they develop wetlands that attract and support literally hundreds of other species. Beaver wetlands are among the most biologically productive ecosystems in the world. Beavers increase plant, bird and wildlife variety, improve water quality, and raise salmon and trout populations. Beavers are biodiversity in action. Beavers are very family-oriented. Beaver pairs are monogamous and have kits every year, with two-year old kits living in the family home until they've learned everything they need to know to go out and start their own families.

While the Sierra Club Liberals are patting themselves on the back over beavers, what about their stupid laws that prevent HUMANS from building dams on these streams?

How are their behaviors different, please?

motors yes, calttle no. The riparian zones rely on grazing and fire to maintain their health. The grazing just has to follow a natural frequency and intensity.

@@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists A herd of cows is way too frequent and way too intense. No cows.

lol LOVE this comment!

Yes, and one destroyed itself and the front of my daughter’s car, this March 2024in NY state, when it was sitting up in the middle of her lane on the road just around a corner! And she wasn’t driving fast, but, as you say, beavers can be very big!

they used parachutes somewhere, can't remember the details.

Sorry, no, beavers are not at all like cats in that way. They are graceful in water but slow on land. Beavers are monogamous, and the kits start helping their parents maintain the dam, lodge, and channels within weeks of their birth (2-4 kits are born at a time usually). When another bunch of kits is born the next spring, the older kits help the parents raise them and teach them how to do the work, and find and store food. At two to three years old, the kits are old enough and experienced enough to build their own lodges, usually a short distance downstream from their parent’s lodge. With more and more dams the water in a whole river is moderated so it stays on the land, providing habitat to hundreds of other species, filtering pollutants, recharging the aquifers, resisting wildfire and helping prevent flooding. Idaho dropped beavers in crates tied to parachutes. The main problem is that they did not keep families together, so how many survived the drop is a question. We know some did.

Yes , Beemers do that . 😂

Controlled grazing is, as in regenerative grazing, but grazers not mimicking wandering herds can be very destructive to the land and balance of nature.

Nothing is free , especially beaver. . .

I think just their butt does…
