[andyabomb]

6:50 not only have beavers discovered the art of constructing dams, they also know how a portal guns work.

[makaron370]

[themarluh]

I honestly don't get how even 1 person could dislike this video.

[cliffthelightning]

They eat wood? awesome

[suicune690]

@cliffthelightning Beaver scat looks basically like lumps of sawdust because of it.

[deadscarneo]

THERE SO CUTE..

[Jonisfilm]

6:13 problem, beaver?

[godlosme]

Hillarious that they blocked the spycamera at the end.

[NCONiall]

6:50 Portal?

[Webbess10]

*even

[Webbess10]

wow...the lodge ever has a little chimney!

[AdiQ0502]

i just love beavers

[goatshredder]

God dammit what's not to love about these amazing animals. What's almost as amazing as all this is how they can do it on a diet of wood and leaves.

[13jiebo]

SMART BEAVER



[srinivasanwas]

Civilization and harmony also exists in these primitive animals... excellent

[QuinnFreakinLynch]

i watched this whole video so focsed, i didnt lose interest for a second

[19Gui86]

by october winter is well underway?? in the states?? thats absolutely false. jus sayin, love ther whole video though.. just this part i rly wonder about, i live in canada and october it doesnt even snow before december usualy.

[Qopzeep]

@19Gui86 higher up perhaps? I'd guess winter would set in earlier at high altitudes.

[19Gui86]

@Qopzeep

possibly

[Melleina]

they dont seem so angry afterall

[WheelLock]

hmm the one repairing has to be Norbert, the one in the back swimming has to be Dagget

[callmemarcer]

1:28 the akward moment when the damn collapses.

[sumantirukovela]

what kind of person would dislike this video hope he gets bitten by a beaver

[richd9]

a beaver NOT in Canada? impossible?!?

[AJwentyoyoyoyo]

beavers cant be around people then... without woods and rivers, beavers cannot live l

[J41mEV4rG45]

i love the Attenborough seris :D

[MaineGemCutter]

One person didn't know there were muskrats living among him.

[tommos1]

the beavers swim past attenboroughs canoe and ones of them is like hey isnt that david attenborough?

[simpsonmark]

Attenborough for President!

[theworm1244]

damn they are good engineers

[StanleyKingChan]

[esguitcha]

damn nature you are amazing!;)

[Ben34Miikka]

1 person is a marmot

[brian2010lal]

@4:59 unbelievable ...with teeth only ? :((((

[brian2010lal]

lol..Kuddos to Beaver...Once we tried making a fish pool with only mud and rocks and it was very difficult to stop all the leaks ..Beaver get my respect :(((

[trE3E3]

8:45 beaver looks so seedy...

[saltfan2]

its so insane to live of feeding on wood. Those guys must have pretty tough stomachs. I wich i cold live laike that . every time i was hungry all i had to do was to pikk up a stick.

[raphieboo]

at 3:45 when he accidently bit the leaf he got it and threw it away XD lol

[iAmTOPVictory]

Woaaah, thats cool.

[DamianNeate]

Beavers are truly amazing creatures, so advanced and intelligent. awesome stuff.

[Spiritboymark]

Ohh.. Now I know where Justin Beaver originated.. xD

[newfagscanttrif0rce]

@Spiritboymark

fail attempt to be funny is pathetic

[drkraid]

most animals are not at all how they are portrayed in cartoons. the beaver, on the other hand

[wafflesandbeer]

@drkraid Dag and Norb!

[drkraid]

@wafflesandbeer i love it when you come back to a comment you made eight months ago to find that it's at the top. it's a beautiful moment

[beefygreenapples]

Beavers are gonna rule the world some day.

[rapsaper]

stupid advertisements

[qwerty8144]

wow, they're cooler than i thought

[MOSKEY13TH]

illegal logging :]

[cocopuma1]

lol justin beavers family right there

[NosferatuD]

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen....Musk rats aren't squatters.

[ManOfConsequences]

justin beever >>>>

[brianchhangte]

Heck..they are something arent they ? Never seen one myself and i always thought they would eat fish since they live in water.lol.

[awesome220]

beavers prove existence of god. how can an animal 'evolve' to be dam builder?

[kit763]

@awesome220 The same way that we did. I don't think your a fool to say this. but rather, that most people who question evolution never learnt it, or don't understand it.

[awesome220]

@kit763 So evolution taught them to build a dams?

[random777hero]

@awesome220 i donno i heard of this one animal called humans n they built a shitload of dams. 

[awesome220]

@random777hero ?

[random777hero]

@awesome220 humans...animals...dam builder? ughh nevermind

[79Testo]

Why does a beaver want to build dams, why the interest in cutting off water?

[JeffChen7x8]

@79Testo He kind of explains at the beginning I think: to make the pond/body of water deeper and flood the woods around them so they can easily access trees and quickly get back in water. Otherwise they would have to go on land to get food walk quite a ways to trees and then go back to the stream. Saves them lots of time!

[horbergaren]

@79Testo he just explained it, cover, transportation and so on

[horbergaren]

this is the best ten minutes found on youtube, the music, the amazing clips and Davids voice combined perfectly

[RGProductions]

Beavers are really badass animals 

[butterflyidentity]

So fat and fluffy. <3

[horbergaren]

manipulating nature instead of controlling it, we have a lot to learn

[kit763]

@horbergaren I thought the beavers were trying to control nature, they seem like little industries buggers.

[Dwizzle5291]

WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS!

[ry20thow]

@Dwizzle5291 hahahah just rattled

[airsofteverest]

I have beavers in my stream there so amazing and annoying they flooded my yard and my airsoft field

[kolobite]

I think if the beavers knew David Attenborough, they would bring out the whole family and have their photos taken with him.

[gaiagale]

Brilliant capture!

...I'm curious to know how long before the lights were covered

thank-you for sharing these moments of nature's creatures working together in such graceful harmony

[horbergaren]

there is probably a secret city of beavers somewhere

[nothuman100]

Mountain lion??

[PhotoShopChannel]

@nothuman100 A puma

[94jg]

@majinsha1 I hope you're not implying that I don't have a life cause that's just rude.... considering you don't know me.

[94jg]

@majinsha1 of course he will!!!

[94jg]

I wish David Attenborough was the narrator to my life.

[dinglenutzz]

David Rules.........

[Grayhams11]

Wow this is really helpful with my project that i am working on about beavers

[MrTubesucks]

bieber fever

[CardSearcher911]

Wow infrared lights aren't welcome either !

[plasterdbastard]

No animal, outside of man, has had more impact on the North American landscape than the beaver.

[SinisterSkip]

Very interesting video by the way, thank you!

Quality TV.

[Keister12]

Damn tree killers! And they be flooding my homestead...friggin' bastards!

[bfoaliali]

The beaver looks like my downstair neighbour.

[morroida9966]

i love david, he is a great biowhatever and have an extremely calm voice

[braybraymitchface]

fuck that was awesome

[talzmistle]

I love how the muskrats "pay rent". That is awesome.

[ONETRUEDUB]

norbert and dagget did some down-sizing on their lodge it seems

[whyeatedpies]

we all have to pay rent.

[stoneyboi13]

they repair the leak... BP oil spill solved!

[sexlexicamy]

@stoneyboi13  BANTER

[yotuber666]

Awesome how they can build the dam and everything. 

[PokePackOpener14]

If only I could join them. Looks very cozy inside that hole!

[perazh]

Destructive animals.

[MrMick73]

some garlic and lemon with Indian cheese bread , Yummy beavers !!!

[suckithardnfast]

Where are dag and norbert?

[randomgraduate]

LOL beavers :)

[MAdk1p]

[rudezoo]

frank debin.. police squad...

[crazysoccerman14]

Wood? Seriously? You eat wood?

[crazysoccerman14]

Nature is absolutely amazing

[Isaiah101]

niiiiiiicccccccce beaver...

thanks, i just had it stuffed..

let me help you with that.

[Elite1987]

The beaver is my favourite animal! I'm from Canada so I'm happy it's my national animal.

[crazysoccerman14]

At least there's something you can be proud of...

[RoflcoptersForLife]

3:47 nom nom nom nom nom nom

[EnveeH2]

FUCK YEAH BEAVERS

[gilgamesh106]

Clever girl...

[Brushles83]

clever beaver

[47lionking]

wow they can cut trees!..

Awesome animals..

[d0nLight]

I would love to give a beaver my wood.

[0prahTV]

beavers are awesome

[gringodeltoro1]

I use to spend my sunday afternoon watching the BBC Earth program. It's the best know way to recover from a wild night...

[XXTheRealMcCoyXX]

It's amazing that they are so smart but all they eat is wood and leaves! What kind of nutrition is in that?!

[choccyraisans]

Ii love beavers, as my social studies class probably know.

[SaintBroken]

When I was a kid I was so fascinated by the way they built their damms that I made my own. :D You don't want to know what happened to our garden when it started to rain. xD

[doomlordkaka]

wow that was brilliant. thats quite a happy thing to watch.

[aaronmacauyag]

Wow!!! I now respect animals more...

[StephaneGrappelli]

David Attenborough is the king, I love his relaxing voice

[SinisterSkip]

@StephaneGrappelli

So true. I hope he may live long and healthy, so we can keep hearing his voice in new vids!

[Thulgore]

@StephaneGrappelli agreed best narrator by far for nature docs.

[elenore88]

@StephaneGrappelli yeah, no one comes close to him do they

[shauney101]

guys there might be a god, there might not be. If there is, thats cool and it's nice to know we're not alone. If there isn't, oh well lets get on with life shall we?

[mrjercich0]

ethixz wat are u talkin about here clearly says this takes places at the Grand Tetons which are in america and krispy are u kidding me that this a reason for god? this is nature it arrived from an evolutionary process not a divine being get ur head outa the clouds and live ur life like epicurus taught u should prolly look him up cuz i kno that u have no idea who he his considering ur religion prolly banned his teachings

[ethixz]

I want one

[BethanyandPatrick]

Beevers are so cool. You know, they kind of look like most contractors I know. Lol.

[normalil]

A beautiful and amazing piece of film. I remember seeing it on TV, so am pleased to see it here and save it to my "favourites." The musk rat phenomenon is not new though. I have a book from my teenage years which documents the same thing. "A Beaver's Story," by Emil E.Liars. Thanks so much for this.

[reed00112]

This is amazing! Definitely represents to me at least the beauty of nature :)

[phkd]

These clips are amazing.

[UberKrispy]

When I watch these clips it makes me certain there is a Universal Intelligence that created life - a God if you will

[Prairesoul]

As long as we remember that the Universal Intelligence is not "Us," we'll be OK.

[squidge316]

Pretty Cool

[kideviltorock]

I love beavers. Anyone know where to find them in England?

[alderaforall]

The American beaver's ability to nibble wood demonstrates the stunning adaptability of these amazing mammals....poetry, pure poetry. There is nothing like a soaking wet beaver nibbling some wood.

[jtoptimistic]

pervert

[jameshurrelltv]

What?! lol

[TseeBaeng]

Pure phallic poetry

[derpenstein]

Beaver lodge has got to be the coolest dwelling space of all animal creatures. I keep wondering when Pixar's gonna do a Beaver movie.

[N00bcrunch3r]

@derpenstein

Open Season had beavers in it, though, that's not a Pixar movie.

[derpenstein]

Beavers FTW makes me proud to be Canadian boyee!

[TeaBaggins]

... too bad these are american beavers. BUT YEAH GO CANADA

[ethixz]

The only thing canada is good for is making the USA look better.

[HokiesAndDawgs]

I think beavers would be a really interesting animal to watch in nature over a period of time if you have a lake or something near your backyard.

[oOzephyrOo]

wow amazing animals and looove the ending xD

[omarv27]

wow, that was great.

[Mermaid1962]

Sometimes, when I take the train, I see beaver dams in the woods. It's interesting how some of them look more "professionally" done than others: older, more experienced beavers, perhaps?

[aurora44]

BEAVERS ARE FUCKING SICK

[siyengar9821]

Sir Attenborough's commentary makes it ever more so interesting and easier to understand animal behaviour.

[canadianstuman56]

too bad he sucks at steering a canoe

[MarcusPhoenix]

so cool wen it puts the mud on the camera lol

[ETHANBRADLEYOFFICIAL]

ooooooooooooooo how cute i want one or 2 lol :D

[legostarwarsfan9]

there homes are like igloos

[legostarwarsfan9]

fasicinating just to watch nature like this

[drav1dan]

Beavers do resemble beavers! The triangular, heairy head. No wonder these animals got that name.

[hairy0pothead]

You need to fucking grow up mate.

[rubbermuck]

Can beavers really fell entire trees like that? Or was that a trick shit?

[OneRiddum]

they really can!

[rubbermuck]

haha, I meant shot of course!

[lord69z]

They can even do it to telephone poles, around my aunts cottage in Ontario, they all have Metal rings around the base so the little devils wont eat our infrastructure :D

[specificz]

amazing! :D

[Marint85]

wow!!! keep up the good work you do BBC!

[englishmaninseattle]

that was amazing, those clever little creatures.
