The dam on the southern edge of Wood Buffalo National Park is about 850 metres long. It's common for beaver dams in Canada to reach 500 metres in length.

Biologists estimate the dam would have taken at least 20 years to build. It is visible in NASA satellite imagery from 1990.

The previously reported largest beaver dam was a 652-met

Video on the link!

20 years suggests the beavers are on a consistent mission with prolonged consistent thinking does it not?

a 20 year mission led by beavers?
Are they trying to adapt to rapid specie growth or just trying to create an amusement park?

Wonder if they know if something is coming which they should, and therefore, we should be prepared for.

Impressive to say the least, must be a few hundred if not thousand of them there surely. Otherwise that is one hell of a mansion.

Hate to sound like an Albertan red-neck..but we use beaver dams as bridges to get our ATVs and 4x4 across rivers.

Beaver dam can be quite a nuisance...they flood out roads and farms. Beavers also quite destructive..often cutting down large trees and just leaving them there. They can be pests.
