It began decades ago, with a few hardy pioneers slogging north across the tundra. It’s said that one individual walked so far to get there that he rubbed the skin off the underside of his long, flat tail. Today, his kind have homes and colonies scattered throughout the tundra in Alaska and Canada — and their numbers are increasing....
...Scientists have come to view their landscape engineering as beneficial, and even critical in some vulnerable ecosystems. In many places south of the tundra, conservationists have moved to protect and reintroduce beavers to restore stream and wetland habitats.
But in the Arctic, beavers are sometimes seen as unwelcome intruders that could disrupt life on the tundra. Beaver dams are already making hunting and fishing more difficult for some people in the Arctic...

It would be a tragedy if the poor things froze.
Recover the DNA of the prehistoric giant beaver and release it into the wild.
More fake science to scare the easily fooled.
...trudging across the tundra, mile after mile...
Znd you watch, if we start cooling again, the left Will scream about how we “must act now to protect the beavers from freezing”
I wonder if they will freeze to death this winter?
I also wonder how many trees there are in the arctic?
I almost caught a Beaver when I was fly fishing a few years ago it swam into the fly and it must have hit his teeth and straighten the hook ,LOL
I'd like to ask you one last time. Conduct yourselves with the utmost maturity.
Ooooooh! Canada!!!!
But, but a few years ago the claim was that Glo-Bull Warming was causing the polar bears to move South! Wait till they clash with the beavers!
I can see it now on the SI-FI movie channel! Monster Beaver vs the Polar Bears!
We have a Beaver Lake near here. One of my working companions wanted to start up a liquor store there. Naturally he wanted to call it...ah, I better not say it.
Leftists are such control freaks who are trying to fix and freeze the environment when t has always dynamically ebbed and flowed.
OMG!!! LIFE writ large does not disappear, it adapts, as LIFE (even humans) have always done.
The natives hunt and trap them to this day. More warming fear porn
True story, as the author Michael Chrichton would call it, you can’t mess with nature. Paraphrased of course. It will follow the course it follows. When our civilizations are gone and mankind is no longer on this Planet, Earth will not show the marks of our scratches.
Nice beaver.😁
That Beaver is a long way from Miami!
There’s a summer in Canada?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They thought summer happened due to global warming but in fact it was just the consumption of Alberta Rye Whiskey
southern edge has alders, birch, willow, spruce and firs (for shrubs there’s bearberry and some members of the rose family). As the arctic warms, these species will also migrate north.
Consider Greenland; 400K years ago at least the southern 1/3 was covered in forests and quite livable:
“Greenland’s temperature once varied from 50 degrees Fahrenheit in summer to 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit in winter—the temperature range that the tree species prefer.”
