Moose, You Otter Have Beavers Nearby

Once again, scientists conclude that beavers do a lot of good for other animals and plants.
Beavers engineer their ecosystems in a way that helps moose and otters (New Scientist). When naturalists re-introduced beavers into parts of Finland, they noticed increased activity of several species, including moose, otters, and weasels.

Maybe top hats will come back into style!
Was a sister bitten?
Beavers attract weasels?
Who knew?
Good for him. They’re nasty assed, ill-tempered animals.
(I don’t think our Heavenly Father had his coffee the morning He made ‘em. They’ve occasionally gone head-to-head with locomotives. Duh.)
Oh, my. The poor thing. Hope it was not being punished for biting anyone’s sister.
beavers cause climate change- denuding our planet of valuable CO2 sequestrators (Yep- new word, I think)
Overpopulation too!
If humans dam a river, it is unnatural.
When beavers dam a river, it is natural.
Humanity, then, must be unnatural.
At least until that first cup of coffee.
Wow these scienticians are smert. Nothing people with a connection to nature didn’t know from 5 years old. That’s one reason we call moose “swamp donkeys”.
“Nice Beaver!”

A møøse bit my sister’s beaver? Sounds fishy to me.
Love, teenaged boy.
A moose once bit my sister’s beaver otter spite.
The most pornographic line ever said on broadcast TV: “Ward, you were a little hard on the Beaver last night.”
Beavers are busy little creatures. Canada picked an interesting animal as its national symbol.
