Can't help myself, when a beaver presents an angle I shoot the pic. And they did on the morning bimble through our local park on the bay. Believe the one swimming by the grass is the monster we call the King #Beaver, rarely seen. It never came out for a positive ID, we think it might weigh 50 pounds. #Hiking #Walking #GetOutside

Close photo of a fairly large beaver sitting on its haunches with its head bent down sideways as it scratches same with its big flappy, webbed hind foot, its flat tail splayed out in front of it. It is at the edge of a marsh in green grass, sticks it has chewed laying about.

A beaver swimming slowly along a calm channel of water alongside a patch of green marsh grass growing upwards and reflected below in the water. A very green photo that feels gentle.

Once-dying Mexican river delta slowly nursed back to life https://www.rfi.fr/en/international-news/20250408-once-dying-mexican-river-delta-slowly-nursed-back-to-life

"#conservationists secured land as well as #irrigation permits, cleared invasive shrubs and planted thousands of native #trees... After years of this type of work, we now have a #forest of #poplars and #willows on 260 hectares on a stretch of the #ColoradoRiver. Fauna has returned. Many #birds have returned. The rejuvenation has also brought back the #beaver—a species that had largely disappeared in the area"

Le 7 avril, c'est la journée mondiale du castor.
L’activité des castors contribue à recharger les nappes phréatiques, à prévenir les inondations et à conserver l’eau durant les périodes de sécheresse. Leur présence favorise le rétablissement de la forêt après un incendie et augmente la #biodiversité (jusqu'à 33%, selon plusieurs études). https://parcs.canada.ca/pn-np/mb/riding/nature/animals/mammals/castors-beavers

#InternationalBeaverDay: How These Creatures Alter #Rivers and Shape #Forests
The Impact of Beavers on #Biodiversity
#Beavers essentially create #ecosystems within ecosystems, promoting a rich tapestry of life. Their impact on biodiversity is profound, with studies showing that areas inhabited by beavers often have higher species diversity than those without.

Beaver
Tom Hubbard

Eident indwaller o that wilderness
Reddin and guidin it fir your domain:
Smaa pioneer, makar miraculous,
Frien beaver: tak this haun’s-turn o my ain.

Frae birk or sauch, poplar or quakin-esh,
You chaw your biggin-gear, forby your meat;
Deep in the swurlin waters you enmesh
A routh o logs and brainches, ticht and neat.

A crannog reeks intil the winter air:
Your fowk byde in their chaumer het and hale.
Swimming up throu a bore ti jyne thaim there,
You beat a ferlie music wi thon tail.

The Indian hunter kent you fir a God;
His squaw has taen your kitlins ti her breast …
Your clan – and his – were bi the mongers caa’d
Doon fir mass slauchter. Few wad spear, wha’s neist?

Syne we hae cried you back: oor governaunce
Had fund a gairden, left it as a muir.
Whit is your secret, beaver, as you daunce
At the lochside wi your feres? Whit is your pouer?

Eident indwaller o thon wilderness
Reddin and guiding it fir your domain:
Smaa pioneer, makar miraculous,
Frien beaver: tak this haun’s-turn o my ain.

My beaver lino block print is hand printed on delicate, translucent, handmade Japanese paper with a deckle edge. This is a North American beaver (Castor canadensis), symbol of Canada.

April 7 is International Beaver Day. While a species of “least concern” according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, numbers of North American beavers have been literally decimated since colonization. 1/2

My linocut of a walking beaver viewed from the side in brown and black ink on delicate cream coloured washi paper.

The front page of Wikipedia yesterday featured this article about a #beaver dam in the Czech Republic.

The Czech government had promised to restore some wetlands, but they dragged their bureaucratic feet.

So then some #beavers moved in. To quote Wikipedia:
"The beaver-built dams provided ecological benefits, including improved water quality, enhanced biodiversity, and better water retention, while also saving the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million."

#animal #ecology #beaver #question

Do you know any animal science or observation people who might know about beaver behavior? Someone mentioned hearing about beavers dragging medicinal plants or herbs towards their homes (so that they will grow? Resulting in beaver home herb gardens perhaps?)
