This Beaver Dam is So Huge, You Can See It from Space | Climate Heroes
↠ Check out our Climate Heroes series: • Climate Heroes
In Canada, a beaver family has built a dam extending 850m - that’s more than twice as long as the Hoover Dam. It’s so big it can be seen from outer space. But that’s not the only reason NASA is interested in this architecturally minded species… Increasing diversity and resilience, not to mention creating wetlands, are just some of the impacts beavers can have on their surroundings. What does this mean for the wider environment? And how can we humans learn from it?

Twice as long =/= twice the size. How do the dams compare in terms of how much water each of the two retains? Basically how many tons of water is pressing up against each of the two dams. I doubt the beaver dam comes close to beating hoover dam.

When I was a kid, beavers were almost extinct where I live. Beavers were my favourite animal when I was a kid, so I went from door to door in my town to collect money to donate. Nowadays, we have more and more beaver families living in our country. Of course my donations were just a small effort and probably didn't do much, but I like to think that I also helped to save the beavers :)

The way they build their lodges is unbelievable, they make the entrances underwater, basically creat a moat if they have to but leaving the roof loose to get fresh air just seems so amazing to me. They make these 98% water tight dams but then know when to leave the sticks loose for the roofs. Very cool in my opinon.

Aww. I remember when this crazy damn was discovered. The fact that this place was so remote that you could't go there in any reasonable way was so nice, no one would disturb them, ever. This video also made me remember the absurd "beaver drop" in 1948 Idaho, the program to relocate beavers from northwestern Idaho to central Idaho (so this was a nice update for me). We got beavers around our summer cottage, but they don't build dams (most beavers in Finland don't). Beavers are soooo nice. And they apparently taste ok, too, one hunter told me.

I am here to say this: "Not with parachutes" is a statement that ignores COMPLETLY the fact that all the transportation means back then put so much stress onto the beavers, they had high mortality rates. Why? because it took days, if not weeks, and the beavers would die, because they got too hot. The parachute method actually made them all survive, except Kevin, who only died because he thought "fuck that, I don't need a parachute!" and did the R. Kelly and just jumped off the plane, and just believed he could fly. You could say he was a petunia pot that had his first drop. So, when you say "via horse", then that is what they did back then, which killed the beavers. The only reason we can do it now with "mechnical horse" is the technological advance. If you want to throw shade, throw it with all the knowledge presented. Thank you very much.

A small riverside stop bank built around 1900 in Takaka NZ had it's original construction as loose water permeable stones to reduce, but not stop the flooding around town after a very large flood event so that the rest of the flood plain did not shoulder the extra burden of water. This was done in conjunction with the building of groan's along the riverbank to stabilize the channel. This also worked to filter out large debris from escaping the channel along with the planting of barberry riverside hedges downstream of this stop bank for the same effect. In the 100 following years silt, and trapped organic matter did build an earth shield on the topside of the bank till the original design effect was mostly lost. Watching this video I can see similarity's in the approach to different hydrology problems. We don't necessarily have to have hard solutions to engineering problems.

Nope. Beaver tooth enamel has calcium phosphate too - a crystal structure called hydroxylapatite. It is the material that surrounds the hydroxylapatite that contains minerals such as magnesium or iron. Beaver tooth enamel just has significantly more iron in this surrounding material that makes it more durable and resists acidic erosion better.

Beaver dams can also make floods worse. I work in an area with a lot of beaver dams, and they have a tendency to trap a lot of water, then collapse during high precipitation periods. It creates a huge surge of water that knocks out bridges, roads, and even knocks down trees along the water.

Using hockey rinks to explain how much water was a bad choice; it just raises more questions about how much water that is. How deep is the water in the hockey rink? Only as deep as the ice? How deep is the ice? Speaking of ice, it is more voluminous than liquid water. So when you said hockey rinks, did you mean filled with liquid water or with ice?

If we went back to hunting, gathering, and small scale farming then we would return to harmony with nature. But, most people, especially those who cry the loudest over the environment, don't actually want that.

Wow, this is amazing to stumble upon. I live in Hailey, Idaho which is very close to Baugh creek and have even ridden my ATV past that creek multiple times hunting or scouting for Elk and deer. I've seen the beaver dams out there and let me tell you, they build so well they flood the ATV paths around the area during the seasonal melts. The ATV trails open back up at the end of this month (they close them during herd migration for deer/elk) and I look forward to checking in on the descendants of the "Airborne Beaver Brigade!"

We're glad to hear that you liked our video and can even witness these beavers in action around your home! 🤩 It's indeed fascinating how much effort beavers put into constructing their dams, even to the extent of causing seasonal flooding. This only speaks to the immense impact they have on their surroundings.
Respect to the hard work

Absolutely!
It's amazing. I was wondering about just that, how they can make the logs and sticks stay in place, when placing them in running water Like how they understand the logic of it : That sticks needs to be sharp, rocks are heavy so they can be used to hold the logs and sticks in place/weigh it down, and the fact they use vegetation as insulator and mortar. So the dams are slowing the waters, but not so much it overflow their home. The dams are ''naturally'' controlled. Perfect engineering! The fact they store all this FRESH water, in the warmer world we are gonna have. It just show how we need the animals and nature we take for granted. It's not the animals or nature that needs us, it's WE that need THEM.
This was such a great video, learnt so much, fully expect this video to blow up

We’re so happy about it! Thanks for watching 🦫❤️
I always found it fascinating that because the beaver wants to stay in water where it is better protected it actually moves the river out to where there are more trees. Digging ditches as they go the water flows in those ditches to offer them protection and bringing water to the trees. This is how they increase the plant and tree population even though they are cutting down trees.
"Beavers are capable of impressive architectural work when humans aren't holding them back" I wish someone held us humans back every once in a while.
I love beavers 🦫🇨🇦❤️

4:30 since when did we start using hokey rinks instead of Olympic swimming pools for measuring large amounts of water?
Why did you measure the amount of water in the beaver pond in Hockey rinks? Isn't it more traditional to measure in Olympic swimming pools?

Imagine that!
We built a small dam many years ago on a tiny creek behind my parents old place. We went back to check it many years later and it was a dense green haven.
This made me wish I was a beaver just building dams and happily swimming in the reservoir I created

They build because deeper water makes it easier to evade their predators, mostly wolves and coyotes.
Their important place in the environment has been known for decades. Can't see what's new or exciting here. Cool creatures.
"look, how cool i am with this beaver leathers" Imagine that beaver is gone, we could never build river dam till these days.

It's not exactly because they build dams, but because the environment adapted to that in millions of years, if you put back a gear the machine will start to work again.
