This beaver was working very hard to try to bring down this large poplar tree. She moved around a bit which gave me the chance to film her working from different viewpoints. Busy as a beaver, they say.
You’re so damn right! (LOL “dam”!) They have such a don’t-care attitude that some beavers will carelessly chew down a tree only for it to fall on them:
I had a pet Beaver once . I raised him from a baby . When he got older and bigger he started chewing . The first thing went down was my wifes dancing poll . Then one evening he chewed all the legs on our bed . One evening after work and when I got home he had chewed one of the legs on my dinning room chair and I did not know it . I went down like a box of rocks . One time I seen my couch laying on the floor with no legs . The bath tub was full of water and all the parts was damed up on one end . It was time for him to go . Took him to the Zoo . Poor Chester .
Nature at its finest. Truly amazing. I was walking my dog yesterday and came across the same situation . A large tree eaten at its base. I was astonished to learn how beavers can do this. I had to check out a video.
@@RavinderSingh-hi7so yeah. They're pretty good lumberjacks! But from what i read they try to avoid big ones and much prefer small trees as they can easily drag them to their dams and lodges and it takes just couple minutes to chew those.
This video is really awesome. And we think that we are genius because we have technologies. Total respect for the nature because everything is regulate properly.
Scientists call them a keystone species...once a river is dammed, it creates a whole new habitat. Trees in the area are also less likely to be burned by wildfires.
Have we ever noticed? They can "fall" a tree so well..ya never see chewed trees propped up on others as though they fell into them. Only stumps remain and I could be wrong , but they have better skills than some dudes I've worked with.
Here in northern Minnesota, I've seen MANY trees that have been only partially felled by beaver because they got hung up in other trees. There are also occasions when a beaver doesn't get out of the way fast enough so it gets caught under its own fallen tree and killed. They definitely have skills and a great work ethic, but they don't always win.
I think you just figured out the truth. He's able to get so close to the beavers because he IS a beaver! He learned how to operate a cell phone and made a whole RU-vid channel and everything.
@@imsowitchy I agree with you. I will even suggest that Darwin was wrong in his theory of evolution and man nevertheless descended from a beaver, and not from a monkey! It is known that man evolved thanks to work. Who is our main worker in the animal world? That's right - it's a beaver!
It's always so damn impressive watching this. That tree is very much alive and strong and ol beaver here just peels layers like an onion... With it's damn teeth!
Here we are, marvelling at a beaver's work....meanwhile aliens could be doing the same thing, watching us. Oh look, they're building a skyscraper! Isn't that cute???
I don't know how I landed on this page, but this is so cool. The teeth on them are so amazing. How can they fell a tree with just their teeth? We'd struggle with an axe, yet they do it with their teeth. That's crazy.
Look how intelligent this animal is and we humans think that we are all that and should disposed of them. I’m amazed how smart the little beast is. It would be so great if we could see them as our little siblings, just the way the Most High intended it.
@@nia2446 they were hunted to extinction in the UK and also to extinction in the US and canada. Sadly people do think like that, and have for a long time.
Its chewing thru it and it also sounds like its an apple or something. Its making it look so easy you kinda forget just how tough it is to cut into a tree without a saw.
Or they can be part of natural forest management, creating an environment that supports a greater diversity of wildlife. On the other hand, they can also cause troublesome flooding - troublesome at least for humans.
Have you sat around to see how they transfer those big trees 🌲? do they cut them into smaller chunks, just leave it or go get a beaver gang to carry it? Also you should leave out a camera somehow to capture the full process from beginning to end of them chopping down a tree and shorten/speed up the video. Would make for a cool Timelapse.
The beaver only take what it can eat or move on its own. It eats a lot of the bark as well as some of the leaves and small branches. The bulk of the huge tree trunk is not used because it is far too large for the beaver to move. For a huge tree like this, it might take many days - nights, actually - for the beaver to complete felling it. It will leave, perhaps even for a few days to do other things, then come back to continue chewing on the large tree, so in all it can take a long time before the process is finished. And sometimes, for various reasons, the beaver never comes back to finish the job it started. Capturing the full process from beginning to end would be a challenge, especially if there is bad weather.
Der knabbert den Baumstamm durch als wäre es eine dicke Karotte...... unglaublich! Anscheinend wissen diese Tiere auch genau, in welche Richtung der Baum stürzt. Wenn ein Biber seinen Job nicht gut macht, wird er erschlagen. Das sind PROFIS!
Once the tree falls the beavers will take all the branches for a winter food cache. From a tree branch they will eat the twigs, leaves, new bark, and the cambium (which is the layer of new growth of wood just under the bark). The bare wood left behind will either be used for building material, if needed, or will be left to float away.
