How smart are beaver?

A kettle of vultures descended
Where an unknown life form had ended.
They held quiet wake
But then did partake
‘Ere heavenly spirit ascended.

Absolute proof beaver are smart.
It is a gorgeous day and every beaver is out enjoying it, but here I am.

Slappin’ tails,
often fails,
to impress a future wife.
For some there’s charm,
in this alarm,
that brings them mate for life,

So much hodge-podge,
when building lodge,
it gnaws at stickin’ round.
A beaver’s smart?
A board game art,
its checkmate to confound.

always very nice

Still have my duckhead,… I used to get tail slapped by the same beaver every spring had a nip on her tail, knew it was her… come may following year paddled up the south branch of the rancocas around the same bend lodge was there but no beaver… then this little soft splash next to me it was her kit, mom was 10 yds off my bow she was smart enough to let her kit fend off that mean fishing guy.
