World's biggest beaver dam discovered in northern Canada
Cool.




Researcher Jean Thie said Wednesday he used satellite imagery and Google Earth software to locate the dam, which is about 850 metres (2,800 feet) long on the southern edge of Wood Buffalo National Park.

Average beaver dams in Canada are 10 to 100 metres long, and only rarely do they reach 500 metres.

4. Perhaps man needs to learn from animals
how to live without destroying everything he touches. How to survive in harmony with nature and each other.

12. have you seen what beavers do to the landscape in the short run?
take down every birch tree, flood it, kill the trees, create a marshy bog.

Not something one would want in one's backyard.
