Hotel Beaver is dam nice. For over a decade, partner groups have used empty space at Winthrop National Fish Hatchery and Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery in Washington to temporarily house beavers in the process of being relocated. 🧵

Why Move a Beaver? ✔ Their dams slow down water, creating deep, cool pools for young salmon. ✔ They improve water quality and restore natural wetlands. ✔ They’re ecosystem architects, helping entire food webs thrive. 2/3

So instead of eviction, these furry contractors get a second chance to do what they do best, which is help restore rivers and streams for salmon and other wildlife. 3/3 More about this story: Video by USFWS Photo by USFWS

Over 90% of shrimp in the US is imported and farmed (gross). Our shrimp are different - no added chemicals, no preservatives, just pure, delicious, Louisiana shrimp. Wild caught and delivered to your door, these ain't your grocery store's shrimp!

Looks like fraudulent waste and government abuse of tax payer resources to me. Elon needs to get in here kick out these welfare queens. Disgusting

Absolutely incredible trail camera capture of a coyote attacking a beaver in Connecticut. You might be wondering: “You study wolves in Minnesota, why are you posting this video from Connecticut?” The reason is because this footage illustrates why beavers are important prey for wolves in many forested areas but not coyotes…even though coyotes inhabit many areas with quite a few beavers. Why is that? The coyote tries for several minutes to kill this beaver but the beaver ultimately escapes. Unfortunately, the video was not captured on video but the beaver with his bloodied tail is on the trail only an hour after being attacked. Ultimately, this beaver is almost as large as the coyote and the coyote struggles to really move the beaver at will because of the beaver's size and strength. The coyote bites the beaver's tail repeatedly but virtually never lands a blow to the beaver's muscular body. Coyotes, unlike wolves, simply do not have the strength and size to routinely kill beavers, especially large adult beavers. Wolves, on the other hand, not only have the strength to yank beavers around but they also have the bite strength to grab the beavers body and deliver crushing blows. Killing beavers is harder than it seems because beavers have no obvious neck or easy place for a predator to latch one. They are just one large furry football-shaped hunk of muscle, which complicate the logistics of killing them with one’s mouth, especially for smaller predators like coyotes. Of course, coyotes and other small predators do occasionally kill beavers, especially smaller beavers, but it is not a common occurrence, and there is little evidence that beavers constitute a large portion of coyote diets. We want to extend our sincere thanks to the Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy in Connecticut for reaching out to us and sharing this incredible footage they captured. And big thanks to them for letting us share the footage with everyone here. Capturing an encounter like this on video is one in a million!
