Beaver Lodge Construction and Features

The video follows a young beaver couple as they prepare for the Wyoming winter by building a lodge. They sense the seasonal change and begin gathering timber, with the male beaver cutting down trees while the female assists in processing the logs. The beavers work mostly at night, listening for signs of danger. Together, they transport the logs to their pond and construct a lodge, using mud mortar to seal it. The lodge features a cozy interior with multiple entrances and a chimney for ventilation.
