Dam!

 I saw this on our local news, so all my photos were taken from the T.V. A local shelter found a homeless baby beaver and took it to care for. Isn't he cute?





Soon, he began collecting anything and everything in the room, trying to build a dam. He would slide things along the floor and weave a big pile. Toys, blankets, food, you name it. This is instinctive to all beavers.


They finally had to keep him supplied with a daily stash of large sticks.



Here is part of his new dam.

It's cute how he kind of sits on his tail to balance himself.

I am LOVING how he sits on his tail. He is soooo cute! And how does he just know he is meant to build a dam like that?

That first picture is absolutely darling! I follow a lady who was fostering a beaver in her home. He made quite a mess, but the videos are hilarious!
Blessings, Joanne

Some people are so good with animals. That's really something that his instincts tell him to gather twigs and such to build a dam. Wow, his tail is sooooo long. What a cutie he is.

Hello :=
Sandra sent me this video clip because she knew I would love it, and I do. The baby beaver is adorable, and how extraordinary that it knew to pile up the wood, without being taught by it's parents, it's instinctive I guess.All the photos are lovely to see.
