Should be a good thread.
Seriously, teeth sharp as razors.

BTW, when I visited Universal Studios about 1986 or 1989
The Leave it to Beaver house was about 3 houses down from The Munsters house
So the street shots had to be panned in one direction only

Mid west beaver summit.....
I wondered why there was a recent increase in You Tube videos about beavers. They’re having a summit
We had a surge locally in the bever population a decade or so back. It seems that the surge and the beavers are gone.
Interestingly, in the lakes where there were beavers, there are now otters.

“We desperately need to build more climate-resilient landscapes. We need to engineer something. . . These are crazy people.
"Beavers can transform parched fields into verdant wetlands," the text explains.
I don't mind beavers, where I am--even though I've seen them destroy forests by flooding. They are inherently funny, which redeems a lot of what they do, as long as they are kept under control.
And they definitely are more sane than environmentalists.

So, Beaver dams are good but people made dams are bad. They removed dams on California’s rivers and some others in the heartland because they impede the flow of water. Beaver dams in my area cause excessive silting in the streams and rivers which leads the Department of Natural Resources to destroy the beaver dams. The author of this article needs an education.

Local state wildlife guy tried to get me to take a couple of beavers for my stream. I could see them taking out all my yard trees.
Nope

I can always count on articles about beavers and Uranus to bring out the 11-year old in all of us.
Oh, articles about the capital of Thailand.
