Bopper kurva
From what i remember, it has to do with the noise of flowing water. Bevers find the sound annoying and will cover it until it stops.
I remember a study where they played river noises from a speaker and the bevers covered the speakers with sticks – even in the absence of any water.
I’m not sure if this means that they are annoyed or if they use it as an indicator that there is something to do.
Should be simple enough: check their cortisol levels in the presence and absence of various water stimuli.
Well, dam
Some fun reading on why https://gsas.harvard.edu/news/dammed-if-they-do edit: https://www.livescience.com/why-beavers-build-dams
It goes into the how but did they explain the why? Maybe I missed it somewhere
Edit: they’re just really particular about the way their water flows
Sorry I had a few tabs open, this ones a little more informative as to why https://www.livescience.com/why-beavers-build-dams
