Beavers Build Dam Overnight, Saving Village?

Jaroslav Obermajer, head of the Central Bohemian office of the Czech Nature and Landscape Protection Agency, reported to Radio Prague International that beavers built a dam overnight, preventing a village from being flooded. Using rocks, mud, and wood, these industrious rodents created a structure that not only benefits them but also provides habitat for numerous other species and acts as a natural firebreak, carbon sink, and flood control measure. While a Bavarian beaver manager, Gerhard Schwab, praises the beavers' efficiency, he questions the 'overnight' claim.
