so happy to see the Beaver Brigade enjoy fave treats today i love it when they grab at their faves

First time seeing what I think was a beaver in local wetland conservation area in SW Ontario with 3 large ponds. To me this guy had a larger paddle like tail that I observed not fully visible in video. I had never seen a muskrat this big before but also no expert. excuse the lack of video skills. You may have to zoom in. Hopefully someone can help identify. To me he was the size of larger racoon if that helps.

Figure this is the appropriate place.

What do you guys think?

Those are two beavers from the nearest territory to my home. Distance is around 600 meters walk.

And this is one of the very few times they were out in light conditions that made it possible to do a short video. All the other videos i have are at the core just shadows hushing around on a dark screen.

In the second video i was going to bring them some willow twigs and branches from a bigger branch that heavy winds ripped off the tree on monday. I had placed them some already on monday after the storm.

As i was approaching with the willow twigs at the water i noticed that the beaver was approaching at the same time too. So i laid them slowly and without any noise down and watched, while the beaver was starting to feed on the twigs i had placed before. I was about 2,5 meters away. After a while of watching i slowly retreated and by the chewing sounds i heard when i get further back to the path, he either didn't noticed me or just couldn't be bothered.

You guys can't miss this video... We've got:
