We had them for 2 years in the pond next to our house, a pond that looks roughly like the one in your picture. I know many people consider them a nuisance, and yes, they are "destructive" to trees, but I loved having them around. Their destruction is only a problem for humans if they manage to block water flow (in or out) that results in damage to someone's home or crops. In my case, and maybe in yours, the only "destruction" is trees being felled, making room for lots of other wildlife and plants and new trees will grow there eventually. We had a family of four, but one summer they all left...I'll never know why because there were still plenty of trees left. Here's where I posted a few pictures:<br />http://pamela-j.blogspot.com/search/label/beavers<br /><br />I loved to visit them at midnight or so. I would slowly approach the pond and they would always see me, swim directly towards me, and then smack their tails loudly to tell me to "go away!" The smacks were thrilling! And our pond now looks different -- smaller trees surrounding it -- but so much new has grown up in the 2 (?) years they've been gone that I can't say they destroyed anything.<br />(sorry for the overly long comment...)Pam J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03397439327477925210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-6344740831764937062011-10-06T20:00:44.658-06:002011-10-06T20:00:44.658-06:00wow, I have never seen a beaver eaten tree. it loo...wow, I have never seen a beaver eaten tree. it looks kinda cool....<br />good pics.Raige Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939821844570969147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30450596.post-69442572084226297242011-10-06T09:32:40.958-06:002011-10-06T09:32:40.958-06:00They are very destructive.They are very destructive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
