Beaver Dam Collapse 

"Our fish friends have relocated further south..."

"And the cod are gonna pay for it."

And, we have brought in a new engineering team.

300 beavers disliked this vedio.

Where is FEMA when they're needed? Too busy building detention camps, I suspect.

Is the pond coming back

Snowflake beavers! 😂

Kayle M I would assume it’s gonna be back if it was there before and a new dam was built.

I was just about to ask this

They often rebuild at existing location. The also know how to patch leaks and breaches like this dam.

If a bridge was the only major loss I'd say you were "dammed" lucky!

I’m originally from Orr, MN; have relatives with property on Vermillion. Are you on the Cook end, or the Tower end? Beautiful spot you have! 😊

Did you guys rebuild the bridge in 6 weeks like those beaver rebuild the dam? 😁

I'm just curious if they started rebuding the dam??

@@james94582 that's what beavers do. I'm sure they had it rebuilt in no time.

😂😂😂😂😂

no....Tuna

Women and blacks affected most.

+Rick Smith this is just amazing, I had no idea a Beaver, and his chums could engineer a structure of such size and strength. we have nothing like that here in the UK. This really is an impressive thing. glad to see no damage to persons and property.

+DAVID Marshall I thought this was the beaver bog that's between leveaux mountain and temperance river.

So hard to watch. Truly heartbreaking.

what was so heartbreaking..

just gonna take a guess and say it was the natural marvel of a pond vanishing in just hours..?

+Rick Smith very cool!

+Rick Smith how about an update movie?

+Rick Smith

You should build a flood channel or a beaver dam leveler. The leveler is the easiest and less impactful to the Beavers. Just put a pipe in at the highest water level you want in the pound and then put a chicken wire cage around it and then build the pipe out to the other side of the dam. That way, if there is another strong storm, the pond won't overflow and break the damn.

+bigbuilder10 Thanks for the idea, we are looking into doing that.

There are over 17,000 in MN...

True

How about 1am on Sunday night lol

Where do you buy property like this :(

LOL I was wondering the same just now.

question is: how do you get the water back in?

rain?

JamesAnderyourstruly A water hose...duh.

So that's why the whole town was there. It was just coincidence everyone showed up.

A lot of marriages like that...

Hmmm I wonder if the beavers do that on purpose.

Did the beavers break a mirror or something?

If the beavers haven't built up another dam to fill the area, could you get some footage of what the area looks like today doing a lot fo the same shots/views in the video? It would be interesting to see.

Years ago, in Algonquin Park, a dam like that one broke and washed out the main highway through the park.

ayo I was thinking the same thing, look at the mess they caused

Somebody call OSHA fast....

ayo 3 beavers died in this disaster. 2 where just babys

You're joking but the EPA suing a private landowner over the shoddy, non-permitted, and non-inspected construction of a beaver dam is not unheard of.

Not to mention the nonunion workers.

You only had one job!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Lol!!!

@@evanedwards5473 why aren't more people trolling in a beaver dam collapse video?

What's with weird angry comments. He is right

spacecadet28 the first ever beaver condominium. it's only 3 feet high, but screw you, it's for beavers.

3 feet high and affects an area of 1000 square miles. Beavers don't fuck around

spacecadet28 That may be the funniest comment that I've ever read on RU-vid!

Next to humans, beavers cause more environmental change/damage than any other critter.

They create biodiversity and habitats for hundreds, if not thousands, of other animals. Sorry your shitty cows need to destroy some more land.

no, they got sacked

Bleargh Bleorgh those beaver guys pay through the teeth

No, he just got swept away

It was a Chinese Beaver!

They will fix it.

Nathan Zaremskiy just the liberal beavers ran the studies.

This is nothing compared to the effects of working or malfunctioning man made dams, or other human environmental impacts.

Nathan Zaremskiy or obtained a permit to build on wetlands.

Brian McGranahan Or a permit to create a wetlands...

Beavers _are_ the environment.

+StormTiberius In just 6 weeks the Beavers have rebuilt the dams first wall to 4 ft high

+Rick Smith When it cut from drone to the Dam open I just thought you had done it yourself. But if you are letting them rebuilt it good for you. It was an amazing bit of engineering by the beavers but I'm sure beaver Dams can hold back water needed elsewhere.

+Rick Smith Don't let it get any higher than that !! They don't need anymore. Many years ago had a working dude ranch in Wy. A beaver dam about 20 miles up the valley let go (later measured at 9 feet) and as it traveled down stream it took out the next one then the next one and on and on till it took out, and gathered the water, from 14 !!! Two hands were working in the barn and saw (and heard) it coming. They opened the corral gate and turned out 40 horses to fend for them self's then got up into the loft. We lost about $8,000.00 in winter feed, 8 good saddles and unknown how much tack. Had 3 feet of mud in the barn to shovel out and over a week to round up the horses that had headed for the hills.

Grant Tabor ppl are to dence as long as it looks pretty let em build.

Give those hands a bonus. They saved your hide.

Bwahahaha

bastards!

Yep, just slap something with their tail, flash a big, toothy rodent smile, and off they go to flood another parking lot...

Never trusted them... too eager.

Where in the UK?

That sh*t NEVER works. I see the long history of Yellowstone Park is STILL being ignored through-out the world.

@@dezznutz3743 According to an article on CNN this very day, they're already a big success.

You mean Yellowstone when they reintroduced the wolves and it literally saved the park. That one?

@@peterembranch5797 illegal ones in Scotland and there’s a legal reintroduction also in scotland aswell as one in England.

dam right!... oh no sorry the dam wasnt upright anymore.

oh hi appsro nice seeing you here.

Fuck man, I need some more doraleous and associates WHERE IS IT JHONNY

I second that notion. more doralingus plz

Good thing CNN did't interview the beavers , It would of been all Trumps fault . 'HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Women and blacks affected most. Film at eleven.

Unprecedented racism

What river is this? If it drains into Superior, did the Superior trail bridge get knocked out, or hwy 61? Did it have anything to do with when Duluth got flooded out few years ago?

This was two years ago. I’m sure the beavers repaired it already. It’s great for ecology of the area

Beaver are cool animals. All animals that build are pretty interesting. Ants, termites, bees, etc. Some birds have pretty interesting nesting techniques.

then why the edit?

you sound like a politician ?. what machine digger , did you use ?.

Chances are they have already depleted the food source in that area and will move on to another area.

@@robertlivingston1634 there seemed to be a lot of trees in the area still....

@@1990cwa81625 they don't eat just any old tree, they prefer Aspen, young maple and a handful of others.

@Tom Jenkins Read the posts from the owners. It was not destroyed on purpose. The collapse came after heavy rainfall and the property owners realized that the rains would cause the dam to fail.

I've seen beaver rebuild in a matter of days, but it wasn't as big as that dam either. Little bastards could probably get it together in 1 1/2 - 3 weeks though I'd bet, depending on amount of saplings are still close by and how many beavers. I would've destroyed that dam well before it got 9 ft tall. Wtf, are those people doing, trying to drown somebody downstream?

was there a name or it that can be looked up? it might be visible from google satelite if it's near any kind of road or farms. amazing that rodents smaller than a dog could make a structure that size and maintain it.

Typical bureaucratic idiocy, eh? 🤪

Beavers are the only mammals other than humans who actually manipulate their environment to suit their needs

Not so little fireballs- 80lb with giant front teeth. The original tree skidder.

@@omgitsjoetime bears and wolves make dens. Ants make hills. Almost all animals make trails. Whered you read that info? Curious.

@@peadookie Building a dam for the purpose of flooding an area to build your house is a little different than digging a hole to live in.

@@omgitsjoetime yeah and like humans they destroy the ols echo system to create the new one and since all beaver dams are not eternal when they give way they destroy another downstream . Ever seen what happens to a fair pârt of the forest when one is built on a huge lake and decides to give way ? I did , Nothing stand in the way of the torrent . Beavers are like humans when it comes to their dams and when they fail the destruction can be huge

Women and blacks affected most.

didn't cost the tax payers a cent

Very well designed creatures.

@@elijahsellers3727 That's the key word, "designed". A lot of wisdom and intelligence. That can't be denied by anyone.

Having a smaller, secondary back-up dam is Mother Nature at her best - allowing for controlled flooding and no disaster. Leave it to beaver to save the day.

Yep, and I bet they were out there that very night to start repairs on the main dam. You can knock down their dams, but they will rebuild.

I tested that theory by opening a small outlet in a beaver dam. Hiked back out three hours later (by now it's noon) and the dam is fixed.

Perhaps

No they were in the Union.

"were able to witness" yeah probably broke it so he could film the outcome. notice how it cuts from sky view to the already broken dam.

Sam-pson Smith You expect they have footage of the dam breaking? Read the uploaders comment. He was heartbroken when the dam broke, which is understandable considering a beautiful lake was reduced to mud.

first of all, it was mainly sarcasm speaking. although i wouldn't say it is impossible. things like that happen all the time. (of course he would say he is heart broken, what else would he say? "i broke the dam for views and money!" ? )

Sam-pson Smith Convenient.

Don't allow beaver to distract you from your wealth accumulation plans.

Canada has quite affordable patches of land.

Fuck beavers, get money.

BaileysBeads this would require living in Canada.

Uhhhh no. Beavers don't understand water management when it comes to the impacts of the environment around them. They just build dams for their own living spaces, nothing more.

OldeFreedom the ponds they make also help ensure a local supply of the plants they eat, even during a dry spell when the area would otherwise have died or gone dormant.

They build it so they can trap more food in an area or to be closer to food sources. When you gorge an area with water, fish populations tend to increase too, sustaining their food chain.

I always thought dams created food for the beavers along with shelter. Maybe others don't see that.

lol it must feel good to humble humans by exaggerating and enthusing fancifully over the grandiosity of _nature_ , huh?

Kinda surprised RU-vid didn't muffle this comment. Must be that they didn't catch it. So many comments, it was lost in the bush

These are simply beavers of war.

These beavers are MEANT to kill children, they're DESIGNED to turn creeks into lakes, and they're THE ROOT of every issue be it related to beaver presence or not. What? Poor education? Mental health? Shitty healthcare system? Animals just doing what's in their nature? NO, It's the assault beaver's fault! Ban assault beavers, they are rodents of war! Call or text 888-888-PardonKyleMyersAndFuckingLegalizeMarijuanaAlready if you too support the ban of beavers.

Ha ha ha LMAO.

Its more sad than amazing.

It'll all be fine. They'll rebuild it, everything downstream will enjoy the flood of nutrients, and everything damaged below will grow back. It's just part of nature.

Here Here!!!!

1990cwa81625 it’s definitely ‘hear! hear!’

Leeches has an amazing ability to hold on to things no matter how hard you try To drain the swamp

🤔🤔

Trump and his family are the swamp

I'm one of the property owners who isn't so cool about it. The beavers took a brook holding native rainbow trout up to 18" and made it far too warm for trout to survive. But we don't have the time or the equipment to keep them out. I still want to haul some of the 12"+ trees out that they've felled and chewed the bark off of. They have an amazing look to craft from.

Yeah, I wonder how they instinctively know how to do this specialized construction. Its amazing that this is hardcoded into their DNA.

@@barthchris1 Not to take away from the laudable skills of Beavers, but spiders crap out a house for themselves.

@@AxionSmurf Yes, some are really intricate repeatable patterns not just a random tangeled mess . Their "brain" is probably the size of a salt grain. Different sub-species=different webs. Are the patterns coded into their DNA? Mindboggling! Also, they "crap out their houses"lol with surprising speed. In Maryland there are these spiders (maybe harvest spiders?) that come out in the fall. Cant walk through the woods without running into the webs they put up between trees. I get smothered with webs (and their spiders) while walking on a path I made from my back yard, through a mile or so of woods to the Chesapeake Bay. It gets bad, even waving a stick in front of me doesn't help much, I am not a fan of spiders, their fucking creepy looking!. I take the same path back out of the woods and get just as many webs on me as I did on the way in! How thew hell do they repair the webs that fast?! Lol!
