They might have muskrats that want to live inside the lodge with them.

They might have little snakes that want to live inside the lodge with them.

They allow this?

They allow these trespassers?

Oh, absolutely.

It's kind of like they're running a little bed and breakfast, which I call a bee and beave.

Winter turned to spring, spring to summer.

And then one day, there was a spark.

And the dry grasslands and forests around the little last chance beaver family caught fire.

It began burning and burning.

It was a really devastating fire.

It burned a lot of forests.

This was back in the summer of 2021, and it became one of those mega fires we're seeing more and more of because of climate change.

Thousands of people had to be evacuated.

Hundreds of houses burnt down.

And as for the plants and critters of the mountains?

It seems like absolutely everything has burned.

By October, humans were finally able to extinguish the fire.

But Emily had no idea what happened to those beavers.

Could they have survived the fire?
