With a modest tool box and simple site plans, these animal architects are capable of carrying out large scale building and renovation work. Beavers run on cellulose and work efficiently underwater or on land, radically altering the landscape like no other animal, creating prime real estate for fish, ospreys, otters and bears in their wake. The program observes a beaver family and a construction crew as they both rush to get their structures built in time for the onslaught of winter..... who will be ready? Wonderful narration by David Attenborough. |
