It's the second thing. It's absolutely the second thing, there are papers on how it's the second thing, if they hear running water, they will go into damn building mode. It is so much the second thing.
ancient beavers used to build complicated dens for hiding, like so
but then some beavers said, my front door is still approachable, i will therefore build my den in the middle of this water.
And the water said, well then iâm going to fill your den with water
and the beaver said I Think The Fuck Not
and so it has been ever since
on the other hand, they very much know what they are doing because they canât just go do it on instinct, they have to spend a couple years apprenticing to their parents as junior dam builders before they get it right - it takes so long that before they graduate theyâll probably help teach their younger siblings dam building too.
But yeah, if you play the sound of trickling water over a sound system, beavers will go crazy piling shit around trying to shut it upÂ
