I just saw this beaver on Instagram today! He’s just making a random dam inside the house of the rescue person, really cute and so fascinating that this is just instinctual behavior. Kind of like if you have a herding breed dog, it often will try to “herd” people, other pets, etc. without ever being shown how to do it.
