Beavers
Back in the 00s there was a Canadian nature show called The Nature Nut (hosted by John Acorn) that did an episode of dedicated to beavers. It featured a catchy kids tune [Big Wet Rodent Day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzLB3LDNCXA) that got some internet attention back then... mostly in kids music circles- never mind what age I was. At some point people decided this celebratory day was July 26th and we'd celebrate the beavers, nutria, [coypu](https://retrieverman.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/happy-big-wet-rodent-day/), and alike every year. [Full Episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF6QwnkY6gY) of the Nature Nut episode in question\ Same episode, [timestamped to the original song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF6QwnkY6gY) *With beavers large and muskrats small\ We stop to celebrate them all\ The glory of a beaver dam\ That makes you say I am (that makes me say I am)\ A big wet rodent fan.*
> "We are thrilled that after an absence of around 400 years we now have beavers back and breeding." > > She added: "The beavers have put a lot of effort into building and maintaining their lodges and getting their family settled, showing great perseverance and resilience during their relocation and then during the floods we’ve had over the last year,"
