    thats a sex joke for any of you that dint get it.

  • i love beavers! they're so chill lol

  • Beavers are fucking awesome.

  • I hate this fucking narrator?

    What the hell is his name?

  • @mkmnk dude its life YOU CAN'T CHANGE LIFE IGNORANT BITCH if beavers are rodents that massacre thousands of trees then there ants in how much of the world we polute daily DAILY beavers can't make factories and pollute the air noooo but we do, do they fling styrafome in the oceans? I think not so in the life of I don't know 21 years as a human you destroy more of the earth than 150 beavers because to you need a house pipes, food witch is contained in some factory polluting our earth and you'll n

  • 1:30 That beaver looks just my dad... they are both amazing creatures 

  • If beavers were genius they would have gotten rid of mankind a long time ago.

  • so fatty!

  • furry :)

  • like this if you started looking for beaver videos after watching the "Talking Beaver on a Highway" video!!

    :D

  • im living next to a family of 5 beavers so far :) its fun lol

  • They're also social progressives: stay at home beaver dads and working moms.

  • I was scared by a wild beaver once when I was 7 years old. I didn't realize they were so big & furry until our neighbor showed me one in her backyard. When it opened its mouth I ran. I told my Mom later, & she never let me go over there again.

  • @Backfromthedeadguy Except they were doing it before it was fashionable.

  • and of course they are Canadians :)

  • i want a beaver :3

  • Beavers FTW

  • 18 people are failed beavers....

  • oooooooooooooh i want one!

  • All you nature fakers need to wise up. Are you also tree huggers? How do you rationalize that when beavers kill and waste more trees than you can shake a stick at? They are nothing more than overgrown rats. Whats natural about a beaver stopping a running stream and flooding acres and acres of land and killing every tree in the pond? Even if the dam is later broken, trees don't come back where the pond was. They don't help the environment, the environment gets along fine without them.

  • @mkmnk They use trees to build their environment and survive. We use trees to build doors so we can be closed in and private and build desks so we can sit stuff on them. We use tree to print paper and money, which is also wasted and thrown away. Look at our budget.

    Don't fuck with the beaver, sir.

  • @mkmnk It's amazing because they are pretty good engineers for being little rodents.

  • @mkmnk Did you not listen to a god damn thing, the narrator was saying. Or are you that fucking stupid? EVERY single animal has it's place in the wild, none of them are useless at all. By the way, I am no tree hugging freak. I am just a guy who, god I don't know, WENT TO SCHOOL. Yes my grammar does suck ass, I will give you that one. But I was really good at zoology, so I know about animals. You my dear idiot clearly don't know shit about anything. You can call me any name you want, go for it.

  • @mkmnk As long as they don't overpopulate/think themselves as the centre of the earth like us, they can never kill more trees than humans do. Yea and tell you what, the environment gets along fine without human beings as well

  • Am I the only one that thinks a show about a carpenter and his beaver would'nt make a good show?

  • @IceSlushi I would watch that show!=D

  • I was a Weaver Beaver! Weaver High football!

  • Very cool!

  • Amazing creatures, amazing nature. God is great.

  • They are not all vegitarians. when their food source gets low, some start eating birds. mainly ptarmigan. Seen it happen most of the time in spring.

  • animals are so amazing. nature has great things. .

  • Beavers rule!!!

  • How do you kill and drive out these little bastards? In northern europe where I'm from they cause so much damage we can't live like this anymore. My dad lives near a river, they chewed down most of the beautiful pine trees in his yard, they cause the river to flood all the time, it's a disaster. We shoot some of them, but they keep multiplying too much. What natural predator is supposed to keep their population in check?

  • @normalais

    Natural predators are bears. I would rather live beside beavers than bears;) I suggest removing fallen trees in the area to prevent the beaver's natural urge to build a dam. I know some people that did that. There was a family of six beavers and they were trapped and relocated elsewhere in a more remote location. I am not sure if that is possible where you live. In Canada, we have more remote areas and we depend greatly on beavers. They save many species of fish and plants.

  • @dolcemaddalena they just keep chopping down new trees. We have forests where seems like every 4th or 5th tree is damaged and dying or cut down completely by beavers.

  • @normalais

    I will send you a personal message.

  • @normalais Humans are on the verge of destroying an entire planet!, air pollution, water pollution, deforestation which has disrupted millions of years of natural habitation...I say leave the poor little Beavers alone! they are not even a fractions as destructive as us!

  • @normalais -your shooting beavers? thats so WRONG! they help the enviorment. and your killing them. did they hurt you? only humans can control the population.

  • @normalais o crap..u have a dilema. is there a nature conservation office in your country? they may have suggestions for you. i understand how much of a problem nature can be sometimes. i had to figure out how to keep squirrels from climbing into my eaves on the house and chewing in my walls. everybody loved them but me of course.

  • i dont know why but i always vbeen scared of beaver :S!!

  • Lol Mandy from @kierstenmandy tweeted this to a bieberhater LOL

  • Beavers mate for life? GO MONOGAMY!

  • Is there anything on the planet as awesome as NatGeo or Disney nature docs? I think not.

  • I want some eager beaver

  • Time to kill some damn beavers!

  • @Keister12 I take it you like flood water.

  • @DaRocker21 I take it that you have little to zero actual experience with wildlife...maybe you are an expert with "city wildlife"?

  • @Keister12 Pretty much.

  • I want to know how the hell they build these things! I was just watching Swamp Loggers and they had to tear down a beaver dam that was made of two very thick trees and tied with weeds and branches. It took them half an hoour to tear it down using a truck and grappling hook! It was very sturdy, and about 10 feet wide, maybe high 4 feet above water!

  • THE EAGER BEAVERS FTW !!

  • Beavers really are wonderful animals ... they are a keystone species, creating natural habitats for other animals and plants, too. Beavers deserve to be protected.

  • Justin beaver...

  • Poland had flooding this spring that killed 15 people and displaced 150,000. Over 3 billion dollars damage.

    The interior minister blamed the beaver for causing much of the destruction.

  • can someone tell me the name of this documentary, this is taken from? :S

    i'd be thankful

  • watched this today. beavers are amazing.

  • Beavers are hot.

  • Beavers are smart. I just hope they made their lodge big enough so the kids don't hear them banging.

  • Beaver is Awesome....!!

  • Nature Spirits Roots and gaps!LOL

  • beavers are an architect!

  • Beavers are magnificent animals !

  • Yes, I agree. Beavers are truly some of the smartest creatures. I wish I could see one.

  • wow gaaaaaay

  • Every time I see nature videos, I cannot help but laugh at humans in our 'stupid' ways.

  • Oh Canada, we love our beaver!

  • Excellent Video... Hopefully during my lifetime I will be able to see a real beaver with my eyes.

  • @Honestspot Then you will have to leave the USA

  • @swassontelus Actually, there are many beavers in the USA. I just went on a nature hike earlier today in upstate NY and saw a beaver dam. They're mostly active at dusk or during the night if you ever want to see one!

    Source: environmental biology major, lol.

  • @SeaTiger170 I am happy to hear that. Thank you. Now, consider your territory safe as we don't invade normal habitats.

  • first time i saw a beaver in the wild I almost shit my pants. they look odd as fuck.

  • @deadhead507461 Do you mean like when the average Canadian first met a Yank?

  • anal play excites me

  • nice beaver.

  • Beavers have kickass houses.

  • Lakeside? Lake-ON!

  • Im a fan of beaver's now

  • Apparently you and I are getting thumbs down for our "anti animals over humans" point of view....

    I don't understand how my belief that we should put human perseverance and happiness above all other creatures is so wrong. Why do environmentalists hate their own race so passionately? It's mind boggling.

  • Comment removed

  • Hhhmmm. I'm pretty sure I never said anything about animals having any less of a right to be here as humans.... nor did I elude to humans being more "superior"...nor did I say anything that had to do with religion...nor did I say anything that was or was not a fact. I'm very confused on how you got the basis for your reply from my comment. I merely related my opinion that some humans put other creatures well being before the well being of their own kind. Is that a ridiculous for me to think so?

  • Sorry nevermind, I'm tired and edgy... it's about preserving the other creatures who have just as much right to be here as us. Some people are generous enough to put other species before themselves to protect them. You don't have to but some people do, nothing worth bitching about.

  • In that case, I can respect your opinion. Next time, try not to lash out for the sake of lashing out. That never did anyone any good. Take care.

  • To understand my reasoning for my statements, watch this video watch?v=lZED_7S8u_E&feature=re­c-HM-fresh+div

    You will see that I am not a bad man, I just feel that a human life is no less important than a beavers life. Beavers work together to preserve their species, as should humans. They don't make decisions with our well being in mind, but we have the ability to keep theirs in ours. First and foremost though, we should be taking care of people.

  • yes but that doesn't mean we should push aside the other life on the planet for our personal needs.

    Only certain amounts of environmental displacement should be acceptable. At the rate we are going right now, there won't be much left to destroy in 50 years.

    And in terms of preserving the human race. We shouldn't still be growing at the rate we are. Earth wasn't meant to sustain this many people. Not to mention how wasteful we are.

  • Please don't get me started again....

  • Mauhadeeb28: do us a favor and don't ever start again. one beaver is worth a milion of you subhumans. No you shouldn't be "taken care of" and you subhumans don't deserve any the oxygen you're stealing.

  • Judging by your name, I can tell we would get along great. I have no words for an ignorant self loather such as your self. Why don't you jump off a building and do the beavers a favor?

  • mauhadeeb you remind of that women off the movie the mist. The women that would always preach about god being all vengeful and stuff. This is an example to say that your mind is F.U.C.K.E.D.U.P

  • What the heck are you talking about? Video games? Go back into your hole if you don't have something relevant to the topic to say.

  • movies... im sorry some of us do actually have friends and a life that go to theaters and own dvd players....cyah

  • Subhumans? Give me a break. All I said is that we should look after our own first. That is as animalistic as it gets. I want my race to succeed. Beavers want their race to succeed.... I choose humans before anything else.

    Would you rather someone take a beaver out of a forest fire before a human?

  • The answer is yes of course :) Beavers come first.. even before women and chldren >:(

  • lol Cute.

  • Well why don't you do yourself, and everyone else a favor. Go to a beaver dam that has a leak, stand in the void. AND BLOW YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF. One less stupid human, and the dam hole would be filled with a big piece of shit. Problem solved.

  • @Moothyknight4534 Well said

  • Comment removed

  • @ Mauhadeeb, well, we destroy the world, do animals destry a planet? i don;t think so

  • Was that a reply? I'm not sure what to say to that.

    If "destry" means destroy, how do we "destroy the world"? So what you are saying is that we have the power to destroy worlds and have already done so. Do we have the power to fix it? Don't you think the earth is a bit more resilient than that?

  • If a human built the same exact damn, the activists would say they were cause a ebb in the natural flow of water causing fish to be caught in the dam or some shit like that. How come we don't get mad at beavers?

  • Actually, around where I used to live people were paid to get rid of beavers.

  • We actually do a lot to prevent beavers damming up vital streams. Where I live there is a volunteer crew that comes out to break apart the dams annually. This is a futile effort though, they need to relocate the beavers.

  • Did you know that beavers are the most vicious rodents of North America? When kits are born, momma beaver kicks out daddy beaver temporarily from the lodge, as he might cannibalize the young. Daddy beaver wouldn't realize yet that they were his kits, as they are born without a smell, so he would bite them to death in order to bring momma back into heat. Daddy also evicts his 2 year old offspring by biting them until they leave. If they do not, he kills them with more bites. Aren't beavers cute?

  • beavers are the chuck norris's of the animal kindom, only more cute

  • beavers mate for life!never new that

  • There's a beaver inside us all. :D god I want a beaver as pet. they are the most cool, awesome animals ever!. and a nore: people in m class calls me beaver for some reason, I don't look like one :P, meab it's becourse I ruin their economy :P

  • beavers own every other creature

  • beavers are awesome

  • they're like guineapigs of the water... only more energetic.

  • i love beaver

  • My french teacher looks like a beaver and i asked him "how do you say beaver in french?" and everyone burst out laughing and he just said "that's not a relevent question" and me and my friend started singing "I'm too sexy for my dam too sexy for my dam, new york and japan. I'm a beaver you know what i mean and i do my little turn on the catwalk..." and the rest is history.

  • You got suspended.

  • ha, ha, ha. good one! and ... i'm a french teacher!

  • if we were to be like beavers we might as well lived in russia in the 1940s

  • Doesn't the beaver represent Canada just like the bald egale represents America?

  • Canada has 4 Symbolic creatures:

    Polar Bear - Winter

    Beaver - Spring

    Canadian Goose - Summer

    Moose- Fall

  • all of which are less "cute" than u may think lol i seen dogs torn open by beavers because they were threatened. lol

  • Ecosystem is not designed for eternity. It changes and beavers help to reshape things around so I would not call it destruction in the long run. They are mostly destructive when man transported and relocated to someplace they have no business to be in. then the ecosystem will be shocked. The erosion of woodlands is not always a bad either.

  • thats really cool

  • Do you all actually know that beavers also cause a lot of damage? They can flood huge fields by making their "ponds", eradicating previous ecosystem (similar to man made dams) and they can also devastate young forests over short periods of time. I agree that they are cute but saying things like "all beavers do is help" is stupid because they can easily change ecosystems (destroy forests, create lakes) and that's not helping at all... When you think about it, beavers are very similar to humans :P

  • Not really. Beavers don't live in every corner of the Earth like humans. Beavers are just doing what they were created to do (including breaking things down -- which is what nature does naturally). Humans, on the other hand, harbor insidious greed, jealously, envy, and every other sin we can possibly partake in to cause serious damage to the world as a whole. Don't you agree?

  • problems for who? you? don't forget.....this is their land. we intruded on them. let them live their life. you should worry about your life, taking care of your family. thats all that they are doing. they just do it. you have to think about it.

  • i have a pet beaver

  • beavers eat wood?!?!

  • is that a serious question? Just sit back and think about it for one second. Saying it aloud might help. :P
