This breathless review of beavers in Britain is awesome television. I love the announcers excitement and enjoyment of the animal, his hushed wonder upon seeing them in person, and his pragmatic discussion of coppicing. This glorious beaver reporting is as good a way as any to say Happy First Birthday to our lovely kits YEARLINGS who are proving every day that the science of building dams ain’t ALL instinct.
One additional thought: Our beavers are a little cuter than castor fiber. Look especially at the bump on their snouty noses and think about our beavers and their beautiful canine noses. We definitely got the pretty cousin, but it’s a great film and I hope their is a trickle down effect for all that beaver excitement.
