@rose_alibi @Apiary @dr_a I had a beaver swim all the way across a lake towards me and get out of the water and march towards me and somehow I always forget just how big they are.

@smellsofbikes @rose_alibi @Apiary were you getting strong "I'm swimming here vibes"?
Matthew Dockreyattoparsec@clacks.linkJun 25, 2026, 11:28 PM@smellsofbikes @rose_alibi @Apiary @dr_a On the Mackenzie, we kept getting woken by what sounded like a melon sized rock being thrown into the river by our campsites. It seriously sounded like it would take a human or other large biped to make the sound, which was alarming because other than us, the local biped community was entirely ursine. Took us a while to finally realize it was beavers slapping their tails as they swam by to warn others of our presence. Very civic minded, beavers!
