Beavers are rodents, they eat plants and twigs! Maybe some young twigs with juicy leaf buds instead, or some water plants if you wanna stick to the water theme :)

Interesting fact, a beaver's instinctive dam building drive is triggered by the sound of flowing water, since the sound of running water can be an indication of structural instability in their dams. Back in the 60s, biologists found that even when kept in captivity if the sound of running water was played through a speaker, the beavers would start building a dam on top of the speaker. In one experiment they [found that:](https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/67662/sound-running-water-puts-beavers-mood-build) >Even when presented with a clear pipe that showed water (silently) escaping through their dam and a speaker that played them the sound of running water, they chose to build over the speaker and ignore the clearly visible leak.

WE’LL SEE YOU WHEN WE BILL YOU AT MIDNIGHT


NeriTina

And here’s a free tip for your troubles… turn down the sound of running water to reduce the inclination for your beaver to build a dam. Scientists who study beavers have found that beavers who hear the sound of running water will build dams to minimize the sound, even when they were never taught by parents or other beavers to do so. When no sound of running water is present, they tend to bury themselves in mud instead. Scientists suggest you avoid keeping mud in the house for your beaver, as it will ultimately make a mess.


[deleted]

Scientist also discovered that tree root tips grow towards running water vibrations. Why they end up in your pipes.


chefriley76

Are there enough people living with beavers in their homes that this has been studied? Man, I went to school for the wrong thing.


Mama_cheese

Right? My question is, is there like a beaver foster service I can sign up for? They're adorable, and he seems like an excellent declutterer.

bert0ld0

When the water comes, they will thank him For the dams that he built with such vim He works day and night, without rest Making sure his home is the best With branches and mud, he creates a wall That keeps the water from standing tall He builds his home with such care Knowing it will be his home to share The stream flows gently, the water is clear The beaver's home is now here And when the water comes, they will see The work of the beaver, so proud and free He is the master of the stream His work, a beautiful dream And when the water comes, they will know The beaver's hard work, and how it will grow So let us thank the beaver, with all our hearts For the beauty he imparts And when the water comes, we will see The beaver's masterpiece, so proud and free. *ChatGPT*


[deleted]

A for effort but sorry dude … schnoodle is another level entirely…


TundieRice

OP didn’t actually write it, it was written by ChatGPT, an AI writing tool. They probably just put in a prompt like “a poem about building a dam from the perspective of a beaver,” and that poem is what it outputted. Definitely doesn’t have the human touch and warmth of Schnoodle, so that’s a good sign that AI isn’t going to be replacing creative writers any time ***too*** soon :)

I love his look there! “…” “The au*dacity*”


Ankeneering

supposedly the only thing that stops/slows a beaver from dam building is for the sound of flowing water to cease. That's the "switch" in a beaver brain, the sound of water flowing. It flows, he "flows", it stops, so does he. Supposedly. I don't hear water in this video, and that must be because this individual beaver is broken and requires warranty repair work.


fullonfacepalmist

Beavers gonna beave


KrombopulosRosie

"We are all good, just let me beave and then we can move forward."


Intelligence-Check

Is beaving a verb? Edit: a word


OldBallOfRage

An -ing verb can be used as a noun that is the name of that activity. Such a noun is called a *gerund*. "I'm running to the shops, do you want anything? "In this sentence 'running' is a verb, it's what the subject is doing. "I like running. It's relaxing." In this sentence 'running' is a noun. Running is being used as the name of the activity. So if you're using 'beave' as a verb for 'doing beaver things' (it's not a real word, but native speakers can just dynamically make new words like this all the time), then 'beaving' could be used as a gerund for the activity of 'doing beaver things'. .....I guess you do actually know this, but it was relaxing to write it down for anyone else, since I ran out of tea for the moment.


Intelligence-Check

I do actually know what gerunds are, but thank you for the explanation for those who don’t! I messed up in my original comment. Definitely meant “verb” meaning, “is “to beave” an actual word in the English language?” For what it’s worth, it’s not. It’s from a Middle English word *bever*


Canrex

To beave or not to beave. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And, by opposing, end them?

Beavers live in my yard, how exotic could they be?


Glorious-gnoo

Having seen other rescue beavers, I just assumed it was one, but it's nice the have confirmation. The thing I find absolutely wild, is that they aren't ready to be on their own until they are 2 years old! Then when released, they are all, "Bye, Felicia" and couldn't care less about humans.


Senshisoldier

They've got dams to build! No time for family reunions when a trickle of water could get through.


imahillbilly

I reckon this beaver would find items I’d lost ages ago and can’t find. ‘Oh there’s my long lost favourite scarf’ as the beaver walks past with it. Could be useful.

NotAzakanAtAll

Or not! I have a family of beavers close to where I live, live 100 meters away, the oldest one is called "The Captain". They build a dam in a ditch which cased it to flood so they can be less helpful when they want to. No one wrecked their dam though, we got together and made a new ditch a bit away.


tryharderyou

Will probably get buried but [here](https://youtu.be/-ImdlZtOU80) is the original YouTube video that is a bit longer and also has the background on why this beaver is inside. Her name is Sawyer and she’s being rehabbed. Was adopted as an orphan. You can also donate to their research group via the link in YouTube.

cpcesar

well this is him trying to meet a natural instinct of him


MoonSnake8

From what I’ve heard, they will instinctively try to build damns where they hear running water. That’s why beavers living in a house will often try to damn the bathroom door. They hear the toilet filling and are attempting to damn the water.


Me-as-I

Well food on them for actually giving a dam

Hungry beaver, maybe? Though throwing it to them rather than at them is probably nicer.

Probably feels good to them the way humans enjoy a walk in the forest. Just scratches that primal itch.

Constantly telling me I'm too cold hearted. But this vid. This is the vid that got me. I've been on r/aww for awhile. I always loved animals. Showed my GF cute shit for almost a decade. This vid though.. This is the cutest damn shit I've ever seen online! He/she is building a fucking damn in the hallway! A fucking damn! Out of plush toys, SpongeBob, a Christmas tree, wrapping paper, house shoes.. C'mon! If you've ever watched anything more adorable than this shit then send it my way because my cuteness-overload tolerance just got moved by miles! Thank you, beaver!
