Then why not live away from the river or maybe in a lake?

They require ponds to live safely. They build dams which create ponds. Then they build little mound houses out of sticks and mud in the middle of the pond. The house only has underwater entrances. They can cut trees down and float them into the pond, where it is safer to eat. They're mostly aquatic mammals.

Suddenly the angry beavers makes more sense

So its not just the sound, got it

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 41 points 1 year ago

It's the sound that triggers an instinctual response.

Correlation, not necessarily causation.

Some religions had sacred prostitutes, thus I'd say it's debatable.

They have been known to live in lakes, and when they do they dig dens under the shoreline.

The reason they don't like the sound of running water is the same reason we don't like to hear the sound of unexplained running water in our homes, it's a sign of a leak. The only difference is for them it's instinctual, and for us we understand the consequences of a leak in our home.

Well, they do live in a lake, they just have to build it.

I believe the way they build their burrows doesn't work well without the flooding part.

That's just quitter talk.

"Hey Bob, I see you hired a plumber, what's going on?"

"I heard the sound of a leak in our bathroom wall. Hired a plumber to find it and fix it."

"You're such a dumbass, Bob."

More like: I heard dripping water in this movie I was watching, so I hired a plumber

It's weird how people whose entire life has been lived with imax can't fathom the millions of years the earth evolved without tiktok.

While working as engineers, beavers still can't afford to live in the city considering the high cost for housing.
