Great video. They are nutria. I used to have one that lived near my home in lake. It would follow me each morning to get his daily taste of corn.

I have been to this beautiful city twice, and it is a captivating city. With every video, your editing is getting better.

I don´t want to disappoint you, but the animal you call beaver is not a beaver, its nutria. Beavers are usualy living close to river forestst. Its easy to recognise beaver after his flat tait. Nutria has tail simmilar to rat. ;)

Hi, though you've seen quite a lot, there is 100times more to see and explore - to see everything you would need to stay 7 days at least... I recommend the Jewish quarter (a whole city district kept by Hitler in order to remember the extuingished race..) - there is a really wonderfull memorial for the Czech jews murdered by Nazis... Then a Vysehrad castle area - a fortress from the 9th century with amazing views of the city + another cathedral (with really mindblowing paintings inside) + a cemetery for the Czech important scientists, politicians, musicians, composers etc.... Then Petřín tower, a smaller copy of Eiffel tower from 1891, with its impressive views all over the city.. Then Žižkov, Vinohrady, Karlín - districts with beautiful buildings, cafes, parks etc... I could write an essay about all what Prague has to offer, but if you'll be coming back, write me down and I can show you all the hidden gems, even those outside of the guide books.... Prague has been titled the worlds most georgeous city in 2021, and that for a reason...

Near the end of January Mark, supposedly quietest time to visit according to one of the locals I asked!

I hope you had a good time in Prague, but I’d never recommend some of the things you did. Firstly, taking MacDonalds for lunch before going to the castle……there are some amazing authentic Czech restaurants/pubs int hat same area that are of course far better. The sweet shop you went in, it’s a tourist trap. There are real Czech sweet shops that sell the same sweets for a fraction of the price you would pay in the shop you went to. The astronomical clock is nice to see, but mostly it’s an area overcrowded once per hour and fairly disappointing to see. The beaver……not a beaver 😜. And I’m not sure if you realised it at the time, but the castle was in the background as you were walking across Charles Bridge. 😊

That animal is not a beaver, but nutria - Myocastor coypus. Its is a non-native species from south america and moreover invasive one. It doesnt build dams like beavers, just deep holes at river banks what is very harmful to the environment. Feeding, keeping and breeding invasive species is strongly forbidden under the risk of big fines. In general wild animals shouldnt be fed because of threat of synantropization or you could harm them by giving them wrong food. Good example of this is when people throw pastry to aquatic birds. They may like it but it is worse than if you fed your child only by sweets.

@@BenRobson123 in German we call it nutria rat, because it has a rat like tail. A beaver would have a broad paddle-shaped tail, not a a long thin one. Beavers are very difficult to spot, mainly active at dawn or night. All similar animals you see during daytime in many central European cities and places and close to humans are most likely nutrias. Nutrias were introced and kept in farms for cheap fur production - but some escaped. What invivoik writes about digging holes is a problem in Lowland areas where they damage dikes which work as flooding protection.

Nutrias, not beavers as someone stated already before. The Astronomical Clock is anything but 600 years old. It has been rebuild many times, the last time was in the early 19th century iirc. Please mention only things you are really sure of. And please, next time, don't stay on the touristic paths but look left and right of it.
