Because the beaver isn't just an animal; it's an ecosystem!

FIGHTING FOR HABITAT IN MAINE


I bet you can already guess how this ends, but it’s nice to see anyway.

Watch a beaver versus a man in the Maine woods

Beavers can attract a lot of attention with their efforts to create suitable watery habitat in which to live and thrive.

Their dams sometimes prove valuable to other wildlife, but they can be aggravating and inconvenient for humans, who must deal with the results of the structures.

This collection of wildlife trail camera videos from Allie Ladd of Byron provides a handful of examples of what goes on when a beaver gets busy in the neighborhood.

Are you listening to the bird song in the background? Wow Maine has some completely out of this world thrushes and warblers.

Then comes an all-too-familiar scene — from Ladd’s perspective — as he is shown tearing out some of the beaver’s handiwork to alleviate the flooding the dam caused nearby.

Finally, we see a red fox, which shows off its impressive leaping ability by springing over the manmade opening in part of the dam.
