@@oscarmoreno65 , I am autistic, so get ready for an overly detailed explanation because I don't know if you're joking or not. In the context of the initial comment, the phrase "broke me" is slang that essentially means "made me laugh very hard." If you imagine a person doing work or homework while listening to the video, they might say that the video "broke them" if it makes them laugh so hard that they can't focus on their task anymore. There are a lot of violent metaphors currently in use in English. For example, saying that a performer "killed" or "slayed" just means they did really well.

It should be noted that so-called "living fossils" like horshoe crabs, coelocanths, and especially crocodiles have definitely evolved, but their overall body plan has just remained relatively consistent. These animals actually make it really easy to show evolutionary processes, since you can literally just play a game of "spot the difference" between a fossil and a live one. Crocodiles have evolved a lot and tried out some really bizarre things, like the ones that had hooves and could sprint on land. That sounds terrifying, but they actually kinda sucked at it, because they got out-competed into extinction the second something else tried for the same niche. This happened multiple times, by the way.

Another fun fact: according to medieval folklore, castoreum was believed to come from the beaver's testicles. So, when pursued by hunters, the beaver was said to bite its own balls off and throw them away (you can find this cringey little account in the medieval Bestiaries). This story was probably used to justify a false derivation for the word 'castration' ('castor' = Latin for beaver).

I really liked this one on The Beaver. I live in rural Alberta where there are plenty of dams. Once I had to stop my car and wait for this rather large Beaver as it dragged a tree across the road. All I could think when watching this beaver was I would struggle if I had to carry that same tree. The tree must have been at least 10 feet long and had a 6 inch girth. The beaver dragged effortlessly across the road and down into the marsh on the other side to its rather sizeable lodge. They are just cool animals. Plus baby beavers are adorable. Never stop doing these Mr Frank. Your videos are wonderful.

I kept expecting a Leave It To Beaver joke. Beaver's brother Wally always called him "Beav".

I was sent back to the Narnia movie with the beaver couple watching this. And I think beavers are cuter now. Did you know they’re a “keystone” animal? Meaning if they become endangered in an area (deer eating all their trees), other animals will suffer and start to become endangered too. They’re important!

Beavers absolutely controls the direction the tree falls. Plenty of beavers where I live, and 95% of the trees they fell falls towards the water. I´ve thousands of trees like that. Respect to the little critters for having better control of felling than I have.

Might be a surprise to you, though I do live near pretty prime Beaver Territory... I've found 3 so far that were apparently killed by their own trees... AND recent enough to "harvest" as it were... so a modest but useful little boon when I'm out and about near the end of summer (usually) or early winter. ANYWAYS... It just goes to show, even the "pro's" can have bad days or miscalculations... at least once in a while. ;o)

I bet if we chewed through trees we'd start to be able to precisely control the fall, too. Get a loooooot more sensory information with teeth lips and mouth than you do with a chainsaw. Maybe the wood gets more dense/compressed as there is less wood to support the tree and maybe the beaver can feel that difference, including the ever so subtle difference between one side and the other to indicate which way the tree is currently leaning.

As a kid, we had neighbors move in from Canada, my father, a corporate attorney with a propensity for BAD dad jokes opted to wear a sweatshirt that said “if you’re Canadian show me your beaver” to the welcoming party. It had an upright beaver dressed as a mounty to cover the absolute vulgarity. To this day he denies it but I distinctly remember the mom explaining to me how uncomfortable she was, after my 8 year old self asked her repeatedly to show me her beaver…she finally cracked and told me what beaver was a euphemism for. I ran home and SCREAMED at my dad, and the sweatshirt was never seen again. He will never admit it. I wish I could find that sweatshirt to prove what I know to be true.
