10 Comments on “Oh Dear! I’m becoming obsessed with beaver”

  1. Beavers are easy to become obsessed with. We have a lot of beaver in our ditches and the Rio Grande, but the Conservancy constantly fight the beavers and rip their dams out of the clearwater ditch. It’s very annoying because the beavers are making habitats for fish, turtles, frogs, and all the wildlife in the bosque. So far we have not been successful getting the Conservancy to stop their destructive behavior. The Angry Beavers had me produce a music video called “Bit ’em on the Old Shin Bone” in protest of the Conservancy destroying their dams. You can find the video under Music on my blog if you are interested in seeing it.

  4. I have been fortunate to observe beavers in a nearby area protected by Native Americans. The beaver population there is fascinating to watch – such busy and productive critters. Hearing loud the slap of their magnificent tails on water gives me goosebumps! Natural resources and land conservation have done a lot of harm to the species here in Oklahoma.I hope more people will be educated about the value of this species, and how they help our ecosystem.

    • Thank you for your comment.

      I like the idea of beavers having a purpose in life and perhaps carrying out ground improvement and maintenance work on Wilden Marsh Nature Reserve.
