Also this beav: ‘scuse me, got work to do. Don’t mess up the dam while I’m out. Thanks.
This beaver was surprisingly unbothered by us standing on its dam - it didn’t even slap its tail. It looked at us, swam back & forth a few times, then went about its errands.
Thanks for being chill, beav!

Me, standing on a dam and talking to a film crew: sorry we will almost certainly not see any actual beavers today. They’re usually sleeping in the middle of the day, especially when it’s super hot out like today.

Things I’d like to learn from #beavers: how to be famously productive while also being unhurried, unstressed, and peaceful as I go about my work.

Happy International #Beaver Day!
Do you have a question about beavers, their wetlands, or how they relate to climate change? Ask it here!
I’ll be sharing bits of beaver knowledge throughout the day, and if there is a question I *don’t* know the answer to, I will know who to ask to get it!
