Trail camera footage from one night, of beavers (Castor canadensis), as they work on shutting down the flow of water into a pond overflow pipe, Richland County, South Carolina, 9 February 2023.
We have neighbors w/ a pond and a beaver problem. For over 20 years April and I have been looking for the beavers, but they're shy. And nocturnal, it seems.
Around here, beavers probably need to be shy, since most pond owners seem to hate them! I'm trying to live with the ones around here, as it's usually not that hard to clear their debris from the drains. They are persistent though!
