It's about a golf ball-sized lump a lot of times. And I sometimes liken it to shredded wheat or something. It takes that kind of character. And beetrovers are one of the rodents, in addition to the lagomorphs, the rabbits and pikas and whatnot, that will re-ingest their own first poop. And so they will eat that to kind of extract a second round of nutrients out of it.

This is a practice called coprophagy. Delicious. And so by the time it comes out that second time, it is very loose, easily disintegrated lump of sawdust like shredded wheat. Most of the time it's deposited in water. And so it's very prone to disintegration quite quickly.

Great. So the two marks are definitely something you want to look for. And if you don't see them and you know there are beavers there, you want to be looking for a cut on the branch at a 45 degree angle. That's just because of how they kind of turn their head and then how the branch typically falls. It's kind of like this...

angled cut, which is typical of all rodents really, but that sharp angled cut is really important. To see beavers, they are, you know, fascinating because they're at once very conspicuous.

You can see their activity from aerial images, which is fascinating, but they're also kind of cryptic sometimes in that they do prefer to be active at nocturnal or crepuscular kind of dawn dusk kind of times sometimes. So a great time is really to just get out there first thing in the morning,

And you can kind of wake up with them as they're about to tuck in for their time kind of in the lodge or their safe spot for the day. And they'll typically come out in the more dusk hours as well. Those are kind of good times to try. But beavers are not hard and fast about being nocturnal. You can find them during the day as well. Yeah.

Yeah, great question. So again, a lodge, you are correct, the lodge is separate from a dam. And so they're not ever living in the dam, but they are definitely using a variety of different lodge styles. And sometimes they can be like freestanding in the water. And sometimes they can be half affixed to like a bank. Sometimes it can just be a hole dug into a bank and they burrowed in that way. But
