As a woman who has spent 10 years of her life watching beavers up close and personal. I very much doubt that this is what she says it is. How about you?
Woman Sees Beaver Eyeing Her Trail Camera — Then Everything Goes Black
When Diane moved from a big city to the little town of Field in Ontario, Canada, she wasn’t sure how to coexist with the wildlife that was suddenly all around her. That’s how she got into trail cameras.
“I had to make a choice: stay in the house afraid of all the wildlife … or just go outside and be brave,” Diane, owner of the Facebook page Adventurous Diane, told The Dodo. “It took about 3 years, but I am no longer afraid. I have 16 trail cameras spread over 30 miles and hike the bush alone all the time. It is a true honour and privilege to venture into wilderness that has not been disturbed.”

I’m sorry but have you asked Dylan from paper delivery or Maria from night watch? I have literally NEVER seen a beaver with that much white in their eyes or such well rounded irises. Maybe a bear or a cocker spaniel. But I very much doubt it’s a beaver. Plus beavers have terrible vision, if they wanted to check things out closer they would SNIFF it more deeply. Never peer into it.
Diane monitors the footage from her various trail cameras and loves seeing who pops up to say hello. Bears, deer, wolves, raccoons, lynx, otters, geese, squirrels and various birds have all made appearances. One of her cameras is set up near an abandoned pond that was in total disrepair, and recently a beaver showed up and decided to move back in.
Beavers build dams to protect themselves from predators and do so by chopping down trees with their large front teeth. Chipping away at the bark and eventually getting the trees to fall can take some time, but this beaver was up for the challenge.
Dams protect beavers from predators? What? Either you are talking about LODGES and do not know the difference or you think dams are like medieval city walls and keep the predators far away.
Either way I’m suddenly having a new thought about why this website is called the Dodo.
As the beaver worked hard to do some home improvement work on the disheveled pond, he soon turned his attention to the tree where Diane’s camera happened to be — and decided it had to go.
“When the beaver starts to cut down the tree, it is bumping my camera, making it go side to side,” Diane said. “This goes on for two full days, resulting in about 300 pictures of the movement, until finally the tree falls down.”
Apparently the beaver then chopped down the tree the camera was mounted on. Which Diane thinks is hilarious. I mean who would expect that right?
I guess beaver big eye had it in for her.
