150-year-old map reveals that beaver dams can last centuries
- pcardh0 11y agoI wonder if beavers ever take a break? Are they always "busy as beavers"? Do the women beavers push their men to dam a bigger pond?
- jbuzbee 11y agoReminds me of the story of the "World's largest Beaver Dam" that "can be seen from space". Impressive structure http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/canada/7676300/Worlds-biggest-beaver-dam-can-be-seen-from-space.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/canad...
- cperciva 11y agoNote: There is not in fact any evidence that any dams lasted centuries... rather, there is evidence that for periods lasting centuries the same locations are identified by beavers as being good places to build dams.
