Beaver Story – interesting facts about beavers

Castoridae family consits of two species, Castor canadensis (the common one or the true one) and Castor fiber (European or Eurasian beaver). In the past Eurasian beaver lived in the area from Eastern Siberia to British Isles. In the end of 19th century, the population of beavers decreased to only 1,200 due to over hunting.

But ofcourse, thanks to the reintroduction, natural spread and protection in the 20th century, their number has increased to approximately 593,000 on 2002. Now, they are found all over Europe, with the exception of Italy, Iberia and the southern Balkans. Beavers are found as well in Mongolia China and Khabarovsk.

The true beaver or the common beaver or beaver, that is C. Canadian, were found in North America first. The true beaver are found from arctic to northern Mexico, apart from Nevada, Southern California, some places in Alaska and most of Florida,. There were few reports of inaccessible populations in places such as Temecula Creek and Southern California also.

Since 1975 Canada’s official symbol is Canadensis. Since 1853 till 1877 more than 3 million beavers have been killed with the passion to sell in UK by Hudson Bay Company. Furs were so precious that it contributed significantly to the westward settlement and development of human settlement of Canada and North America.

Beavers are known for their normal trait of building dams on rivers and streams, and constructing houses, on the pond. Beavers as well build canals, which are very difficult to drag on the ground. They utilize their sharp frontal teeth to cut trees and plants that they utilize for construction and food. Initially, they put vertical poles and then they fill the gaps of the poles with horizontally crisscrossed placed branches. They seal the gaps of the branches by blending mud and weeds until the dam confiscate adequate water to encircle the lodge.
They are also well-known for their alarm signal: while frightened or starthtened, a beaver starts quickly dive while vehemently spanking the water with its wide tail, these spanks can be heard for huge distances above and below water. This gives a caution to other beavers in the region. Once one of them sounds the alarm, beavers nearby dive and probably will not resurface for a while. Beavers are sluggish on land, but they are excellent swimmers and can stay beneath water for about 15 minutes. In beaver blog ou can find interesting Beaver Pictures.

Let me explain. I have a friend who over the years has had episodes(as she calls them) were my friend has let say gone off the deep end.
For example, one time my friend (Sarah) along with some of my other friends where at an amusement park. Every was time, we where standing in line, when the ride broke down. Slowly but surely Sarah started saying she wanted to leave, and like a volcano she erupted. Screaming, yelling, pounding her upper legs and walking around in a circle. This went on for about 20minutes. Then another friend who is psychologist able to get Sarah to re-focus.
The next time this happened I was on vacation with her up in Northern California. Sarah wanted to eat, and eat NOW. So, once again she starting slow, then like the volcano she was yelling, screaming, cussing everyone she seen. This continued for at least an hour. What was I doing at the time, nothing. I did not know what to do, plus I wanted to see the show at the western town we where visiting.
Another time Sarah behaved this way was at a Sci fi convention. She wanted to go home to see some show. My friends who where also at the convention said they would taker home. But no, she would not leave, eventually she went completely out of control at the restaurant we where at after the convention. The restaurant manage asked us to leave because of her behavior.
Sarah is not a child but an adult over 30 years old. I no longer take her on vacations, and I pray when we go out to eat
I am trying to find out what is wrong with her, beside accepting she is a brat.
Can anyone help me?

Vancouver Winter Olympics: Five Tips to Travel to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games by Amtrak

Vancouver, British Columbia is an ideal location for the Olympic Winter Games.  It is a major metropolitan area with significant infrastructure, close to world-class mountains and in a country that loves winter sports.  The city’s international culture embodies strong elements from both the East and West.

Another feature of this location is its proximity to the United States.  Situated approximately 40 miles from the US/Canada border, Vancouver will be easy to reach by land.  You may wish to consider rail travel as a relaxing and affordable method to travel to the Games.  Given the elevated demand for airline seats into Vancouver around the time of the Olympics, a land alternative may be the most enjoyable way to get to Vancouver.

Here are five tips/hints for effectively traveling to/from the Vancouver Winter Olympics by Amtrak:

One:  You must first decide your gateway city.  Seattle and Portland, Oregon are the logical choices.  Although both cities enjoy great air service, you may wish to take the Empire Builder from Chicago or Minneapolis/St. Paul to either gateway city.  You will experience the vast Northern plains and the scenic Rocky Mountains (including Glacier National Park) along the way.  Alternatively, you can fly into California and take the Coast Starlight north from Los Angeles or Oakland.  Like the Empire Builder, this train has Superliner sleeper accommodations.  Finally, there is Amtrak Cascades service five times a day between Portland and Seattle. 

Two:  Once you reach Seattle, you have multiple means of transportation north to the Olympic Games.  You can travel on one of two Amtrak Cascades trains that include a stop in Bellingham, Washington before arriving in Vancouver.  Alternatively, you can connect to an Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach that only stops in Surrey and Richmond, British Columbia before its arrival in Vancouver.  If you really want to explore numerous modes of transportation, you can take the Victoria Clipper high-speed catamaran from Seattle to Victoria, BC and the Pacific Coast Lines bus service from Victoria to Vancouver.

Three:  The next decision is where to stay.  Most people will elect to find lodging in Vancouver.  The Pacific Central Station, Amtrak’s depot in Vancouver, is two blocks from the Main Street – Science World station on TransLink’s SkyTrain service.  Four TransLink and two Coast Mountain bus lines run close to the train station.  You will want your hotel to be close to a transit lines since there will not be any private automobile parking at the Olympic venues.  The good news is that your Olympic event ticket gives you unlimited, free access to the TransLink system on the day of that event and the early morning of the next day.

Four:  Two alternative bases for the Olympic Games are Bellingham, WA and the Whistler, British Columbia areas.  Bellingham is about sixty miles from Vancouver.  Both Amtrak Cascades and Greyhound bus service are available to Vancouver many times a day.  If mountain sports are the focus of your visit, you may wish to stay in the Whistler area.  There is Greyhound Canada Thruway service from Vancouver’s Pacific Central Station to the Pemberton/Whistler area.

Five:  It will be extremely important to make advanced reservations for transportation and lodging to see the Olympic Winter Games.  By buying your transportation tickets and reserving your lodging in advance, you may be able to receive discounted advanced purchase fares or fares for students and seniors.  Finally, US citizens should remember that they will need to present their passports to cross back into the United States from Canada.
