OT: You can take the beaver out of the dam but you can't take the dam out of the beaver

Amazing how genetics or destiny drives critters to be what they are. Sorta explains @LandoComando !
I had them move in on one of the passive water treatment systems I maintained. It was a series of ponds contained within a larger berm. They plugged up the spillway and the 12 inch pvc emergency overflow. The system filled up several feet to the top of the berm. Then they went around and added mud rows as small as 1/2 inch high in low spots on the berm to even out the flow. It was amazing to see, but quite destructive.

Lando aside, indeed that's what came to me as I watched . How in this animal there obviously exists a "core" behavior genetically and it can't help but "be true to self". Even within a tiny small acorn is "map" to become a mighty oak. Remarkable really.
 
Leave it to...oh nevermind.

(lol)

not sure I would have a wild beaver freely moving around in the house. They can be quite aggressive and territorial.
Agree, Steve G. These are not pets. The rescuer explains that in a video on her channel. I'll post below if anyone cares to watch.

One may, or may not, agree with the idea of wildlife rescue. In the instance of the Woodside Wildlife Rescue and the young orphaned beavers that they "foster", their goal is to eventually release them back to wild around the age of two.
