Worlds biggest beaver dam

Cobblers!

 

Of course European Beavers can build dams - although they only do so when the water is not deep enough for their liking.

 

Decancel that DIY Guy Fawkes kit Ziggy, we are still in business. :P

 

If you could handle a "Guy" called Tony Abbot we could provide him. He would look good on the top of a bonfire - trouble is, we are not allowed to have bonfires here, they say it is because of the danger of bushfires, but I suspect the politicians are afraid of being chucked onto them. Aussies do tend to be extremely practical at times! :D

 

Actually Vags, after what the Great Ouse River Authority did to the Upper Ouse, a few beavers up there might have done the world of good. They would have been working on improving the river all day rather than just the few hours at weekends I could manage. Their dams would have stopped the canoeists too!

 

Talking of the Upper Ouse, I wonder how many people realise that this August 3rd is the 25th anniversary of Dick Walker's death.

What makes me a smart arse when the other smart arse was saying American were stupid when the dam was in Canada? Seems to me that if anyone is a samrt arse is the guy with the stupid fishj lists.

fight fight fight fight.

 

calm down dear

 

Don't you think that you might owe Huegh Angler an apology? You insult him and then tell him to calm down when he responds! :o He was right, the dam is in Canada, Ken seemed to think that it was in the US.

Given the way beavers work and the reasons they build dams, the one from the top link is huge almost beyond belief.

 

Is it our fault your Euro beavers are dam retarded or dam deficient or dam impaired or whatever the PC term might be?

 

Us North Americans (note how cleverly I sidestepped the US/Canada thing) like to do everything in a big way. May I offer you some bighead carp?

Pretty invasive critters ziggy and while they are great eaters, they aren't good eating.

Just shows the Euro beavers only build what they need, rather than become obsessed with building the biggest :P
