Way back when the beavers were first a stirring stick for controversy in Martinez, we came across the friendship of Phil Price. He was an environmental scientist and longtime conservationists with a real job in the field. who helped us get the story out. 15 years later he and his wife might might have stopped coming to visit our beavers but beavers are still on his radar. This is what was sent last night:
Juliet and I just got back from our winter trip to Yellowstone National Park — we go for ten days or so, most years. Here’s a very very short video we took, of a beaver climbing into its den (or do you still call it a ‘lodge’ even if it’s built into a bank?). You can hear Juliet exclaim in surprise: we had no idea the hole was there.
Well lodges can be in banks. but I don’t think this looks like a lodge unless the water was drained away recently. I don’t think that”s keeping any beaver safe in yellowstone, that’s for sure!
