The Beaver Dam

We were not the only builders in town. While on vacation from the house project, we kayaked a small lake that was in the middle of nowhere. The lake was created by a man-made dam at one end with a fairly large body of water behind it that was protected and perfect for kayaking. As we headed upstream , at the far end of the lake we came upon several small beaver dams in disarray. We immediately thought “these animals are going nowhere” We paddled a little further
where we came upon the Hoover dam of beaver dams rising to a height of 5 feet and a width of several hundred feet. No wonder beavers had abandoned their lowly hovels for this Four Seasons resort. This dam was huge enough to create a 2 acre pond behind it.
It was truly an engineering feat. How such a massive enterprise was created and co-ordinated with such complexity and asthetic, had us rethink the whole beaver world. A beaver was not just a large rodent, but a large rodent with a large brain and a sense of community. The beaver dam was as successful an enterprise as the man-made dam at the far end of the lake, requiring similar ingenuity and far less money and equipment. It was apparent that this beaver dam had been around for many years and was maintained daily with fresh mud and new wood.
It left us wondering just how much more advanced we are than beavers and of course the question, “Where were they?”
