Maybe they're being protective because there's a dope following him around with a camera.

Oh, my goodness. It is a good family.
(And does that pan flute music resolve into El Cóndor Pasa for a stretch, starting around 1:45?)

Best moment is at about 2:45 when sister carries him back to the fort IN HER FRONT PAWS while waddling along on her back flippers, with his little feet waggling away in the air.

Father carries baby back to fort, drops him sternly, turns to the camera as if to say "Can you BELIEVE this kid?"
Baby sneaks under father's legs towards water.

So is this where the term "Eager Beaver" comes from?

in other beaver news today...
After 400 years, beavers allowed back in the wild in England for good - "The first beavers to live naturally in the wild in England for over 400 years have been given the green light to stay after a five-year trial showed their dam-building activities were good for wildlife and people."

> Beavers, semi-aquatic vegetarian mammals, were hunted to extinction in Britain more than four centuries ago. . . . in 2013 a family of beavers was found to be living on the River Otter in Devon, a rural county in southwest England. It is not clear where the beavers came from
I love that they need to explain what beavers are. I guess that is what happens when you hunt them to extinction . . .
Anyway, I have an urgent need to know where the first beavers in Britain in 400 years could possibly have come from. Certainly they didn't paddle their way across the Channel?
Or remain dormant in some kind of spore that spontaneously hatched again after 400 years?
Related, this mefi post about beaver restoration in the U.S. and hydropsyche's great answer about the benefits of beaver reintroduction, even in urban areas, and how you can work around the (relatively few) problems they can cause in an urban environment.

The beavers are now 15 family groups, from (presumably) one breeding pair? That seems like a lot of inbreeding, I wonder if there are plans to introduce more. Or is the mysterious beaver-releaser going to have to take care of that too?
