This beaver was a newborn when her parents were killed, and she was taken into the care of a family of wildlife rehabilitators. As she's grown, she spends more and more time outside with other rescue beavers, but is still welcome in the house. Yet a beaver's just gotta beaver. At Christmastime, there's a lot of extra objects around the house, what with all the decorations, wrapping, and gifts, so this young beaver saw the perfect opportunity for building a dam. I think she did a marvelous job! (via Metafilter)
I remember learning that it was the sound of flowing water that drives beavers to build dams.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that there's no creek running through this hallway debunks that theory.
"You gotta jiggle the handle, otherwise the toilet runs, and the beaver drags all our stuff into the hallway."
ReplyDeleteAfter going to the trouble to rescue that beaver it's rewarding to know it gives a dam.
