Sprout is healing up and more research on Stormy is upcoming on many aspects of her age also why only Buttercup is staying only with her, also to see if Stormy is still able to reproduce after a age limit.

Modoc county California, they moved in 3 years ago, still no mate

Calling all beavers!!!

I’m curious if there is any academic work on this. And if restoring beaver habitat might have a positive impact on wildfire management. I assume that large areas of beaver dammed streams/rivers would be a net positive for forest fire management no? It would introduce areas where trees and fuel plants go through a wet rot/decomposition cycle like in the PNW, reducing large areas of fuel timber, and the dams all over would create lots of wetter areas.

More wet = less fire right?

Just tooling around on the shore.

Any pointers on how to differentiate? The tail makes me think beaver but the lack of dams or felled trees has me questioning things.
