I don’t know HOW I missed this story! But it was recently sent to my by Eli Asarian of Riverbend Sciences. He was pointing out how science misses important facts about beavers and really gets things wrong. Which I could not agree with more.
If you’ve never listened to Radio Lab you’re in for a treat because they do a great job breaking down the story to make it fascinating and informative. The beaver part was fairly short lived but it was enough to make me tear up so that’s saying something.
