I bet you there's a water line right there and the beaver hears it.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, or at least there's a running water sound nearby. If you play a recording of a sound of running water near a beaver, it will build a dam. It doesn't even have to feel the running water. I'm not sure if it even has to be at the closest point it can get to the sound, or if it uses other cues like a narrowing of the area so that a dam will be the most effective.

In this case, the hallway may be seen like a "choke point" for flow, so it's a good spot for a dam.

I'm curious what the thinking is for dam building. You'd think that a beaver would only build when it was actually in flowing water, but that doesn't seem to be the case. But, what other things are they considering. Do they try to find the lowest point in an area at least? Do they consider how narrow the area is?

If you keep playing the sounds will they just keep building the dam? How do they know when to stop?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

In the real world they probably stop when they can no longer hear the rushing water. So, I assume if you're continually playing the sound of rushing water, they'll never stop.

When the running water becomes walking water.

Praise beaver Jesus.

Bet the toilet is broken. If the float catches something, it will continuously fill and drain.

I'm really tired and I thought the beaver mauled the other one to death into a pile of sticks

[–] pointnull@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I thought it ate the other and was chewing on the remaining bones.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm surprised Norbert and Dagett never did anything like this.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Wait, didn't they? I have vague memories of an origin story episode where they had a kind of sibling fight via damming and it culminated in a tidal wave that washed a bunch of stuff from the forest down river and it happened to land in* their bachelor pad dam that the rest of the show is set in.

Edit: By "in their bachelor pad" above I mean, the wave broke and deposited all the stuff it was carrying in place as a fully formed beaver dam complete with all the stop signs and whatever they had decorated with, and then they went "huh" and just moved in. OLD neurons firing there.
