Beavers are pretty neat.

It's pretty impressive how watertight their dams can be. I was over in Canada a couple of years back and we stayed at a lake cabin out in the sticks. There was a smaller lake nearby we drove past to get there where beavers had built a dam a good 20 feet long that was holding this roughly square half kilometre little lake a good foot or so above ground level at one point, blocking off what would presumably be a stream leading off from the lake. If that thing burst, it would easily have flooded the road. Whoever was in charge of maintaining the land would inspect the area every day, but that thing barely leaked a drop so they just left it alone as you can't mess with the ecosystem. From how solidly built that thing looked, I wouldn't be surprised if it's still standing now.
