Beaver CRUSHED by Tree!!!!! (Full Video) 

Need an OSHA investigation..A 2 year trainee shouldnt have been put into that situation.

Proof of how dangerous tree felling really is. Sometimes professionals even get killed.

Goes to show even the best tree cutters can have accidents.

Obviously Beavers, like humans, can get complacent and forget about the rules of safety. “I’ve done this a thousand times”.

Man, i would 100% keep that tree, keep the shavings, take the beaver, and take plenty of pictures. And have a very capable taxidermist do a scene mount of what you've found here. What a cool conversation piece.

It’s well known that being a lumberjack is one of the most dangerous jobs you can have. RIP little man.

Nature's lesson: Every beaver has its day, but sometimes the tree has the final say.

I logged and was a forester for 32 years. I can confirm dropping trees is dangerous!

Wow all the years I've been trapping 55 years never saw one. Thanks for sharing.

Beavers mate for life. That bark chewing was done by its lifelong mate. Trying to help. How sad. Vaya con Dios to it. From St. Paul,Minnesota.

Wow I'm stumped something like this could happen! Im glad y'all were there to get to the root of the problem. Hopefully it doesn't branch out to other beavers!

Yes I have found them dead from this in N.Y. it's usually a pretty to a very large dia tree & a younger beaver,not an old wise 1! Double trunked regrowth trees gets them too by squeezing there heads between as the tree starts to fall. Last 1 I found was in Holley N.Y. in a dense swampy hard wood stand where I was cutting wood in the summer for the owners. It was a 2 foot dia rock sugar maple in a thick stand ,so it would not lean & fall once chewed close enough to do so. So the beaver keeps chewing from instinct. Finally the pencil point splits off the lower pencil point & smeared his skull down the side of it & tucked him into the ground. I could tell the tree was chewed to about 4 inch dia before it separated ,it never did fall down, it canopy just leaned against other large tree keeping mostly up right,I pulled it down with the tractor. What do they do with a 2 foot dia tree if they do get it down? Well I've found those too. They chew off every limb ,take any small enough to move ,eat all the bark off it & yes even chew through it at 2 foot dia in multiple places & buck it up that way even though they cant move, " that is?" Until the swamp floods on a wet enough year or their damming raise the water lever until it will float. Then they will move it at up to 1000 lb chunks say up to 6 feet or even more long,cause it weighs nothing when it floats & it takes little push to move through the water much like a boat & trolling motor. I've found these big pencil blocks while fishing local streams ,miles from any pencil stump to match! Other people have even found these huge pencil blocks in lake Ontario cause most local streams mouth into that lake & floods will move them beyond where the beaver wanted & he cant move it back up stream against the current.

I've actually seen this before. I hiked a creek area on a Saturday, a Beaver was working a Big Ash Tree. I came back through the following Saturday and the tree fell off the stump right onto the Beaver.

Been trapping 40 plus years never seen that. Thanks for video.

This is insane. I have never heard of anything like this or seen it. Thank you for the learning experience.

Saw it while moose hunting a few years back. The tree drove its leg into the ground. Figured it was a pretty rare occurrence.

I've seen a couple photos of it but never in person. Thanks for sharing and save the castors and tail!

Poor little buddy rip little beav ❤

That was crazy! Thanks for sharing my friends!

This happened in Massachusetts a while back - but the tree landed upright on his tail. Someone came along and found it, and they ended up rehabbing it in a wildlife hospital. I believe it was was eventually released back into the wild.

Unsafe/Dangerous trees in the woods are called widow makers. I know a guys who’s father looked at a dead tree, said looks like a widow maker, pushed it and died. Be very careful clearing trees

You answered a question that I have asked for over 40 years. Thanks!

That’s some crazy stuff, thanks for sharing that👍👍

Oh my gosh I have never seen anything like that! Thanks for sharing!

"He died doing what he loved"

Have never seen that before, thanks for showing us.

Tree's posthumous sweet revenge.

Looks like young beaver learned the hard way about lumber jacking 😂. Only lodge he will be making is the one in beaver heaven.

LMAO the beaver who kept chewing the tree: there's still work to be done bröther

Heck of a beaver trap! 😂

I've been trapping off and on with my dad for 38 years and I've never seen or herd of that happening. I know we're trying to get rid of them especially when there a nuisance but that's a crappy way to go.

Woooo that is awesome Scott, never seen that before 😮

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!!!

*"You are coming with me"* -That tree probably

Fun fact Birch bark is a great fire starting tinder...the oils in the bark are really flammable! At least that paddle died quickly! Never seen one die at their own tree drop before! Crazy

if that beaver have played Valheim it would have known how dangerous threes are

Poor beavers were trying to save their buddy!

He died doing what he loved. That beaver used say in high school “I’ll eat wood til it kills me. “. He got a few good years in. We’ll always remember him, he built this house. Never could pass a good tree without a munch though. Died with wood on his teeth still

Ya gotta love it when the trees fight back😁

Nice Thanks Boys appreciate you keep it up

I've found this once before up by orr. Big old beaver too. Cut a huge poplar down that was growing in some thick brush.

Had the same issue, grew some carolina reapers, made a super potent sauce and brushed a bunch around the bottom of the tree about 2 feet high, not a single bite, after they had a few

That's amazing thanks for sharing

Cool video never seen it before, but heard stories from the elders that seen it before. And heard stories of people getting killed walking through beaver dams at night from the sticks poking out from the beavers cutting them. That’s why they always say you walk around in the bush away from where the beavers live at night.

Awesome thank you for sharing always wanted to see this situation myself

Absolutely loving these trapping videos!!!!

Always wondered. First time I see one.

It caught the “beaver” fever 😂

I'm glad I saw it. Thanks !

Nice find.

Great catch

That beaver must have been like 'Dam' after the tree fell.

*Beaver’s last thought before getting crushed* “Ah SPOOT…”

The tree looks like it was placed there Look at the spin on the tree, look at the bite mark sides on both

Imagine chilling at home and a beaver drop a tree on ur house

Sad. The world needs more beavers.

Thats deadly thanks for sharing bro

That’s wild, occupational hazard👍

Not only did the beaver fall a tree on himself, the tree got hung up posthumously. How embarrassing.

Good video 👍🏼

I just love these comments. Truly the most interesting and fun people watch videos like these. Rip lil boy

Not-so-BusyBeaver!😂

that’s freaking insane, holy crap

Logging has always been a very high risk dangerous job😮

What a rare find.

This is an example of the problem resolving itself.

Gee Birch, you were awfully hard on the Beaver last night! 🌳🦫

This is the first time I have ever seen a beaver crushed

The race of trees rise up against their oppressors

I never thought about whether beavers have ever gotten crushed before. Guess i just thought they knew where to be for whatever reason lmao

Not the first time I've seen a beaver crushed by wood

The birch got its sweet revenge. 😂

As an Australian, I had no idea they can wipe out so many big trees in one patch. We don't have them here

I would think a beaver would know better by instinct.

Been nice gnawing you!

I've seen a video about beavers cutting down trees and wondered if any beavers ever got crushed and well this popped up on my rec-vids lol

Look like the trees have had enough as well, fightin back and such!

I may have missed it, but how recent did that happen? It doesn't appear to be decomposing or chewed on by other animals.

when trees fight back

That’s incredible

The trees finally got revenge

The same beaver accident happened to me But it was a medium tree I was cutting..and it fell on me while cutting.. escaped with ribs injury

It’s not the first beaver destroyed by huge wood.

Poor wee Betty Beaver ive got a soft spot for Beaver ❤

That is nuts

That's just crazy😮😮

Beaver: cronch cronch cronch Tree: YOU SON OF A--

The beaver mafia made it look like an accident

What do you do with the catches? I'm curious how a beaver is used lol

Damn that's crazy, usually they are prepared for it.

That is super crazy.

Must've been a greenhorn! 😉

I can say honestly that beaver made traps are very effective.

Biber must read safety manuels for his teeth. 😂

looks like the tree got revenge.

The Ents have struck the first blow in the Beaver-Tree wars.

He died doing what he loved .

Once came across a beaver with his tail pinned by a tree. We had to chainsaw the tree to get it off. He walked slowly back to the water and drank for a long time before swimming away.

Aaah, the long forgotten tree trap. As you can see, the best bait is beaver.

Ironic that the beaver got took down by big wood. Usually it's the other way around.
