  • A film about the importance of the eurasian beaver and their impact on the habitat and the other inhabitants. It was filmed over multiple years in the middle of a city where a beaver family lives for over 10 years now. The film is a collection of some of the most incredible encounters I had with this amazing species and the other species to be found in the area.

      Don’t forget “landlord”. Their lodges become homes to all sorts of other rodents, insects and other organisms. I live close to the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. I sometimes encounter beavers while paddling. They don’t like me and slap the water vigorously with their tails. I really enjoy seeing them and the results of their work on their dam and lodges.

    We can learn so much from the beaver. Strong family values. Kindness. Balance. What a noble species. We humans are blood stained with sin in how we treated them. They are not an exploitable resource. They are made of the same stardust as us.
    Thank you Nicolas.

    Such a good video. Love me so e beavers. Dream would be to own land big enough to have a family of beavers as like wild pets. Just so I could drink coffee and watch em work.

    Beautiful images of beavers! I was wondering if you were filming from a floating hide or from the shore. The low views from just above the water surface are just stuning! Good (and inspiring) work Nicolas!

    It's a good thing the music swelled there at the end, just before the credits rolled otherwise I wouldn't know how to feel about those rodents.

    I love these sweet animals. So sick of them getting killed by lethal force. I get that losing crops is pricey, but I think if we’d watch what animals who’ve been around a lot longer than humans do, we’d learn something.

    If anyone wants to skip the bird parts and get back to the beavers, it’s around 24:39 and then again 33:03 (I’m watching a beaver documentary, not a duck doc 😂)

    Pity about the extremely intrusive musak. I found myself continualy lowering the volume, but then I couldn't hear the commentary without raising it again.

    Thank You Nicholas, I really enjoyed the personable nature of your documentary. I also recognised Scott Buckley's music too - he's one of my most favoured composers and musicians. Childhood is a song I really enjoy - so it was great to hear it in your documentary.

    Good film, but the music is far too intrusive- it drowns out the narrative at times.

  • @johnadams5245

    No mention of beavers role in fighting wildfire, slowing down flood, and groundwater rejuvenation? I think this documentary totally missed its mark/que.

    Good for the beaver for biting humans. Beavers were nearly wiped out to extinction by humans multiple times. They have every right to fight back.

    Dude actually said:
    _""talk to them, then its up to them if they want to approach you further"_
    And what is it going to do? Give you a pound? 😂🤣 Better advice is LEAVE wildlife the fuck alone, we've done enough damage to all other species.

  • @breAnnasmama
    @breAnnasmama Před 3 měsíci

    The narrator is annoying to listen to and could def. Do without the music.. I wish the people who made all these wildlife documentaries would just get better narrators… I know 99% of these CZcams channels have nothing to do with any of the content they put on their channels, as it’s almost always already existing content belonging to the actual networks and producers that actually do make these films , as most these channels just steal content and plaster it on here but still …
