Robotic Spy Beaver Makes Friends With Beaver Family & Little Muskrat too!

they are wary of strangers newcomers enter at their own risk  somehow spy beaver must win them over   but first he must pass the odour test real beavers have scent glands  that tell family from foe as our spy doesn't smell like  a beaver he's free to explore their lodge has a concealed entrance that lets them come and go without being seen   keeping a low profile hides them  from predators like lynx and foxes on the bank a new spy is there to greet her beavers are strict vegetarians and spy baby beaver  is surrounded by willow their favourite meal her teeth are coloured orange by  iron deposits that strengthen them they are also self-sharpening and  slice through wood like a knife beavers can fell 300 shrubs and trees each year   clearing old growth and helping  to maintain their entire ecosystem for now the youngsters leave it all to the  grown-ups they spend most of their time at play wrestling is a rarely filmed pastime beavers also have friends a muskrat this mini-me lives alongside the  beavers and even shares their lodge wherever the beaver goes the muskrat follows being 10 times smaller means the  best food is usually out of reach   but while the beaver does the  hard work the muskrat can sit back this is what friends are for beavers with young are always on high alert a false alarm but always best to err on the side of caution
