In the Czech Republic, beavers built a dam in two days, a construction that was planned for years.

Beavers built a dam in the Czech Republic in two days, which local authorities had spent 7 years planning. The animals saved 1.2 million dollars on the territory restoration project. This is reported by the publication Money.pl.

It is noted that beavers built several dams and returned the area, where construction was planned, to its natural wetland state. The administration of the protected area planned a reconstruction and already had permits, but the animals did it themselves - and in a very short time.

Moreover, beavers chose the perfect place for building the dams - a drainage canal that the military built on a former training ground to dry the area. The restoration project envisaged returning everything to its previous state, but now there is no need to carry out this work.

As a reminder, in Ukraine, due to extremely warm weather, reptiles have awakened. A bear was also spotted. Scientists explained why this is dangerous. This is reported by TSN.

Phenomenon of reptiles awakening

A zoologist calls this phenomenon a real anomaly, as under normal conditions reptiles should not awaken before April. 'Often the temperature reaches even 14-15 degrees in January, and the soil temperature warms up to 4 degrees, which leads to these animals coming out of hibernation. Under such conditions, amphibians may have time to lay eggs, which then die. This leads to a rapid decrease in the number of amphibians,' says PhD in Biological Sciences Fedir Kurtyak.

Problems of marmots

Earlier, Marmot Tymko III from Kharkiv region made a forecast for spring 2025. According to scientists, the warm winter has had a significant impact on the marmots, who have already awakened. In addition, constant earthquakes due to nearby shelling along the front line do not allow the animals to rest peacefully, and they have been unable to fully hibernate for the third consecutive year.
