I didn’t know that about their anal glands. Lol.

Yes I’m fascinated by them. They operate as true families, stay mates for life and the fathers help raise the kits to become productive dam building adults.

Their dams and ponds create ecosystems for hundreds of other species to cohabitate. The ponds create gardens in literal deserts, essential for irrigation of land and life.

They also act as carbon sinks, filtering out water and potentially help combat climate change. The storage of essential water helps immensely with droughts to the benefit of all wildlife and even human settlements.

I’m obsessed, they are also cute as fuck especially the babies, and yeah parachuting beavers really sent me lmao
