- This video shows a beaver in Saskatoon taking down a tree. It took just over ten minutes from the first bite until he was through. #beaver #beavers
I had the pleasure of witnessing something like this first hand out where I worked in the oil patch. This was before smart phones so no video, it was exactly like this only a much bigger tree. He fell the tree and then worked on trimming more manageable branches to drag back to his pond. About an hour and a trek of maybe 150 Yds he had some huge branches back at his pond stock piled for winter. The whole thing was so amazing to witness. I had another run in with a beaver when I worked for Ducks Unlimited, but will save it for another time.
U lived a well life when someone was being attacked people took action today when someone is being attacked they take out a phone and record it
@@chocolatemilk9821 Yes, and when people went to concerts, we enjoyed the moment instead of documenting everything. Way better, imo.
Now's another time!
It’s been 2 years, time for beaver story 2
I like how he pauses to look at the camera from time to time as if to say: "hey, you admiring?"
He's probably wondering what that strange shiny thing is
I noticed that too!😂
As busy as he is, when he hears a noise he stops, listens. Amazing creatures. Strong, smart, and ADORABLE.
A very important habit to have when you're dealing with two very deadly foes in nature (Wolves and gravity assisted trees)
They eating a TREE ….
Who eats a tree bro
This not smart thing to do
Have you ever seen any human eat a tree ???
@badsolja1 What a crazy comment. First, I am not a bro. Second, humans can not eat a lot of things other animals can eat. Like hay, grass, eucalyptus leaves, ivy leaves, etc. Broaden your horizons a little more.
@rosesperfumelace
But I feel like they are more testier thing to eat
Like fruit and vegetables and fish
And other things
Cause if you keep chewing on tree
You gonna hurt your teeth
Try it and see for yourself
@badsolja1 Poison ivy is poisonous for humans to eat, and eucalyptus is poisonous for humans to eat. Animals eat those things. Beavers have teeth made for chopping wood. 🤦♀️ LOOK IT UP! Search for the anatomy of a beavers head.
Impressive. The beaver knows where and how to gnaw away at the tree trunk so it would fall down away from him and under its own weight. And then find the right spot to bite the felled tree in two when it was too big to carry. Beavers indeed are nature's engineers!
And also know the right height to fell the tree so that it grows again. They always leave enough trunk so the tree does not die. Here in the UK beavers have been reintroduced after being extinct for 400 years. They are working wonders by coppicing overgrown riverbanks. All the trees get their chance at life instead of dying due to lack of space.
WHY IS THIS SO SOOTHING!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Beaver's wife: honey, what was your day at work today?
Beaver: an idiot with a camera was filming me while I was cutting a tree.
haha yes, that sounds about right.
Busy as a beaver, a beaver dam is a work of art.
I just love the sound of them chewing the tree
Dude's got the best job, eat while you work
A typical day at the office, courtesy of the algorithm.
I was looking for the beaver gaming channel and ended up here. XD
Wow, you got some great footage here!! First time in my life to actually see it.
Ya seriously
Beavers must have a fucking INSANE bite force.
And very sharp teeth
Now I feel like helping him move the log. Wonder what his plan is.
he takes pieces of it
The beaver will dig a canal from where the tree fell back to their beaver pond and float the wood back
I just discovered the love of beavers from a CNN video 3 weeks ago of Nibi. Building a "dam" to keep her nemesis Ziibi out. Does a happy hop after.
Cutest was her angry temper tantrum when picked up. I was hooked! Since then, been binge watching beaver vids! Then, discovered this one today.
I'm subscribing! Thank you for sharing your love of beavers with us!! 🦫💗
Welcome to my channel. There are probably over 600 beaver videos on here, so it should keep you occupied for a while. 😀😀
beavers are peak german engineering
See, that's the only thing I don't like about Beavers . . .
They don't follow any of OSHA rules and regulations & they totally disregard wearing hard-hats. Like WTF 🤷🏾♂️
And thanks for not putting music in your videos.
I wonder if ASMR people like this.
Yes, yes we do.
...that's one Canadian...I mean...Busy Beaver...
Ah yes a normal thing to see in saskatoon Saskatchewan.
SO adorable!!
So cute
Well done thats so cool how they make it not snap in their face!!! Excellent video
That's Pebble!....woah!...we are fans.
...beavers are worthwhile, too. Communicative, but it takes time to understand a beaver accent
I think pebble would sit and watch quietly while a beaver chomped through lol she'd even be like hey lemme help ya with that!!!
Love your videos. How do you manage to get that close without scaring the beaver?
I have followed this beaver family almost daily for the last couple of years and they have learned I am not a threat so as long as I move quietly and slowly they usually let me sit close by and watch them do beaver things. I feel very blessed for the opportunities
Beavers usually don't give much care to humans. I watched one stand off with a truck. Idiot honked at a beaver dragging a good sized tree across the road. Beaver got pissed off, dropped the tree and while hissing, charged the truck a few feet. Quite funny to see. Scary too.. they can move fast
@@julietenning7981 Wow! I didn't know they could move so fast, or hiss! I guess they need to fend off predators as best they can. I try to stay a ways back b/c of those sharp teeth!
I’m convinced they know there’s a camera. This one even repositioned so you could get a better view. Tiny chewy actor.
Sounds like he's eating an apple.
Beaver:
The most swag animal
Not sure how this video got in my feed hahaha. Those Beavers crack me up when they pause and just look 👀
Do you know what impress me? Is how he makes the circle and stay at right place.
That was incredible. Beavers are amazing. I love them so much. Hard working, so smart, resourceful, never gives up, and cute as can be. Love beavers!
Incredible footage. Thank you! :D
We are so lucky to have wildlife close and in the city. Lived here all my life. Thanx for the great post
Seen lots of beaver pellets but not how process of dunking the like candy bar They plug the pastures in our area and build up So many beaver houses in many highways where slough are Thanks Mike and Dianne for sharing
They must be fairly smart to figure out how to get a tree that size out of that brush!
Because of this,i change my mind. i salute bevear now my new idol like ibex who can climb a rock mountain
Chewin that wood like a apple
Watching this being high makes it so much more interesting. The guy at the end was like. daamn he gon bite in that tree again? Im done 😂😂
Can’t imagine how powerful a beaver 🦫 jaw is.
And think about the stamina! Quite an intensity for 10-12 minutes... 😲😀
It's their teeth, sharp and strong af.
@@Naproxeno_MD There Jaws have to be INCREDIBLY STRONG Also.
I never get enough of your beaver videos
I’m curious how choosy are they? Like do they spend hours looking for right tree? Are they looking for a certain species? Size? Grain?
They seem to choose a tree very quickly. They follow their nose. One quick whiff of a tree and they seem to know whether they want it. They definitely have their favorite types of trees.
I searched for this video.
"T'ain't the cuttin' takes the time, it's the dog gone haulin'!"
I love how he has basic understanding of physics and applies that
I could never imagine Beavers bitting my damn legs
BREAKING NEWS: HUMAN LEGS FOUND IN BEAVER DAM beaver mistakes human for tree, uses for dam.
I have seen a lot of chewed trees, but never did I see the beaver falling the tree....until now that is. It's amazing how quickly he can chew through a tree.
Beaver....."Oh Dam it, every time I want to work on the house, the neighbor comes over and wants to film me!"
The sound recording is so good
Thanks. I just use a little Canon Powershot Point and Shoot camera but it seems to have a good mic for picking up sound.
@@mikesvideosofbeavers I was going to ask you what type of equipment you were using the record your footage, and wasn't surprised to find that someone else had made a comment about the quality previously.
The mic you have in your camera really does a great job of aurally capturing the chisel-like qualities of those beaver chompers. It's a lot like viewing the ASMR-style shorts found on CZcams of woodworkers crafting dovetail and other types of joints with high quality and very sharp handtools. 😆
Thank you so much for the considerable time you take to record and share these sightings with the rest of us who have a great deal of admiration for these amazing animals, and greetings from the Seattle-Tacoma suburbs, very near the shores of the Southern Salish Sea!
Could watch this all day
That's one strong beaver
Tree: the sun...the shade....ah...ah....
Beaver: hold my Twig...
Me munching my carrots be like:
Look at that little bugger put his little paws right where he can focus. 💜
I recognize that beaver. I seen him in the river last year. 😆🤣
awesome video! me and my wife always walk the river in saskatoon looking for beavers!
You have probably seen me running around looking for the beavers too. Say hi to the fat, bald, middle-aged guy next time you pass him.
I suggest Gabriel Dumont park around sunset. We counted 17 between the playground and Gordie Howe bridge from a canoe.
It's still wondering why the tree is not falling
Amazing not only that he identified a log he wanted, chewed through it, and MOVED it!
The beaver, natures carpenter
Never see beaver in person, thx for sharing!
Did I just watch a beaver cut down a tree? Yes
Do I regret it? No
Great little engineers
Hi Mike-have you seen both beavers come out at once and get different branches? I was just at the nearby pond where this beaver family lives and the mom came out first, went across the path and started to chew down a sapling. The male stayed near the path keeping and eye on us humans, who were watching. Then when she was done and went back to the pond, he went across the path and cut down a big branch. I've only ever seen one adult do this so it was amazing to see both of them at it, and I'm guessing keeping an eye out for the other.
Sounds awesome. The adults used to go out together for branches quite regularly. They didn’t really seem to look out though, they just ambled off together and left whenever they had a big branch. Where are you located with your pond?
@@mikesvideosofbeavers Cool! The beaver family I am stalking, I mean observing, live in Fish Creek Park in Calgary. I think the male was keeping an eye out b/c there were four of us humans ogling them (at a safe distance).
I believe the reason the beaver stops at certain times is to recalculate the height of the tree to see if he needs to adjust the bites on the tree.Just my 2 cents, or he could be watching for HAWKS. 🤷♂️
Like to see a hawk try and take a beaver.
Tying into your hypothesis, from the various other videos I've watched of beavers in action over the past few months in particular, it may be quite possible that the beaver is also pausing to listen for any detectable cracking sounds of the tree, so that it can compute how close the tree is being felled and whether it is maintaining the planned-for direction (perhaps more applicable to specimens of far greater trunk caliper than this); that way they can ensure that they are clear of its trajectory, and don't become flattened in the process, once gravity lends its assistance.
Wow , unbelievable , thanks for sharing .
Very nice capture!
Don't bother I'm working hard.😂
He is so chunky I wish I could give him a big hug, but he's a working man so I can't
What an amazing creature
A beaver's work is never done, it seems...
@ 4:03? notice the beavers front lower tooth, just like a sharp chisel as I can hear BLESSINGS TO ALL!🙏
Beavers teeth never stop growing. Chewing wood is the only thing that keeps them short enough so their teeth dont impale their brains and die
They also know the measurement where to cut
Awesome video. They are incredible creatures and evolution is remarkable! Its on my bucket list to get this on film myself as well this year. 😊👍
that beaver deserves 15 bucks a hour joe biden
Was expecting something different when I googled Mike's video of beavers hahaha
They must have very powerful jaws..
the beaver seeing that they are recording it: I'm not going to move from here, can't you see I'm working?
That is amazing!
thank, I was blown away to get to watch the whole thing from just a few feet away
@@mikesvideosofbeavers thanx for sharing. I enjoyed watching it. Great stuff!
The fact that this has no dislikes makes me pog. I was having such a good time cheering for this lil guy. Nice video bruv, 11/10
I hate to break the news to u but CZcams has gotten rid of the dislike number to hid public opinion
@@chocolatemilk9821 CZcams being CZcams 😑
They took away dislikes to hide public sentiment and effectively create propaganda within the platform
No need for chainsaw, no maintenance, this guy does it for free... can I employ him part time,
I still believed not every tree
Too slow for capitalism... It doesn't care about profits it's more into enjoying life and that's sometimes done slower....
@@iyatsejustina1439 spaghetti
@@graciegjj slow as shit its going to take them over 200 years to do that 😀
@@dbt4869 😁
Beaver: Oh, you're not with the HOA... film away my friend!
Amazing how strong his teeth must be to chew through that wood without breaking a tooth.
They contain iron !
See they are not contented until the tree is not disconnected
When he tried to carry it after it fell, he paused and was like, fuck
Holy Smoke Never saw this before wow blown away thanks for this
Mike, have you ever picked up the pieces of tree that the Beavers chew off to look at up close?
There are lots of them around the pond, and sometimes when I am bored waiting for them to wake up I check out their handiwork.
I could use a set choppers like that.
Was this on the Wanuskewin trail down by the river?
This happened on the dirt bike path just uphill from the river on the east bank near the Childress hospital
@@mikesvideosofbeavers I've walked that path many a time, seen a few beavers, never when they were at work though! That beaver must truly trust you to work with you that close 😊
My Boy picked up that branch with ease. Salute !!!
I want one
Crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch
Tree: I am tall, powerful, durable, and will stand for years upon-
Beaver: Hmm, yes, this will make for some good ceiling.
Mr Beaver you need to plant more trees
Nice vids.
Regards from Saskabush
He's chewing that thing as though he's getting paid a million bucks!
I love beaver....
I wonder how long it would take for a human to gnaw through a tree luk this?
Baby don't give up
That's an a Saskat-CHEW-an)
Awwwww ❤
Why isn't that beaver wearing a hard hat?
I have a beaver working to take down a 12 inch Birch Tree in my back yard. Beautiful tree but he is already well into the bottom. Just a matter of time.
These animals are very strong for their size.
It makes me want to help it carry the log, but teaching it to trust humans is bad.
This beaver and his family live in an urban area. Their lodge literally touches a busy hiking/cycling path. They are meters away from hundreds of people and dogs every day. They still have a healthy distrust of humans but will sometimes let us close if we are respectful and quiet. But they remain wild despite the proximity.
I try to find a human contest playing beaver.
That's some nice tail.
Lovely creatures 🇬🇧
