Beavers built a dam in Alberta (850 meters) that is twice the length of the Hoover Dam. It isn’t the technical marvel as the Hoover Dam, but one would have to be lying to say it’s not impressive.
Extra info: we know it has existed since at least 1975, as it’s visible in arial photographs. (Many from space).
So 50+ years for rodents maintaining a project seems pretty neat.
Also over in Europe sometime in the last several years, some beavers completed a dam that had been stalled in the planning and funding phase. The beavers just rolled up and in 24 hours with $0 in funding and built a dam in almost the exact spot that the planners were going to build them anyway.

Yeah after we slaughtered them to near extinction, it sounds like they are making a good comeback. (Fur hats and anal gland perfume have different yearning these days)

I can’t imagine traveling that terrain any time other than winter; the muskeg is super tough to travel through when it’s not frozen and the mosquitoes would suck you dry.

What’s with the weirdly large rolled up flag on top of the building? Or is it something that’s been painted?

This has “big government” written all over it. You can’t convince me otherwise.
