Beavers built a dam in Alberta (850 meters) that is twice the length of the Hoover Dam. It isn’t the technical marvel as the Hoover Dam, but one would have to be lying to say it’s not impressive.
Extra info: we know it has existed since at least 1975, as it’s visible in arial photographs. (Many from space).
So 50+ years for rodents maintaining a project seems pretty neat.
Also over in Europe sometime in the last several years, some beavers completed a dam that had been stalled in the planning and funding phase. The beavers just rolled up and in 24 hours with $0 in funding and built a dam in almost the exact spot that the planners were going to build them anyway.
Yeah after we slaughtered them to near extinction, it sounds like they are making a good comeback. (Fur hats and anal gland perfume have different yearning these days)
We still use anal gland stuff for cheap, faux vanilla flavoring 🤮🤮
This vanilla tastes like ass!
For those curious, here’s a great write-up

I can’t imagine traveling that terrain any time other than winter; the muskeg is super tough to travel through when it’s not frozen and the mosquitoes would suck you dry.
Dam son
Some mf once tried to convince me some vacuum cleaner made this smh my head for real
Mainstream archeologists would like you to believe that.
But the truth will come out - it was aliens.Obligatory:
Nor did any Hoovers.

Obligatory you say:
Ok, but what about two beavers?
Well yeah, it wasn’t one beaver, it was hundreds of beavers
Pretty sure beavers made humans build it. Who domesticated whom?
No but OP’s moms beaver really helped
Hurtful
Some truths hurt.
This is my mom
I bet the grip is intense and of course stamina for days and days.
What about infinite beavers?
What’s with the weirdly large rolled up flag on top of the building? Or is it something that’s been painted?
Welcome to Utah …
Is this Hoover Dam ? I only knew it from New Vegas
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for nuclear winter
The picture is beautiful and captured how big and grandiose the dam is. New Vegas didn’t manage to make the dam awe inspiring. There is a rumour of remaking New Vegas and hopefully that they re-skin and enlarge the scale of the dam.
New Vegas and Fallout 3 remasters are confirmed, as well as Obsidian working on another Fallout with Bethesda oversight and Fallout 5 in pre production with production ramping up after Elder Scrolls 6 releases.
