Last week we talked about the beaver tail slap, and how beavers raise the alarm by slapping their tails on the surface of the water when sensing danger. Usually beavers move quite slowly when on land but these semi-aquatic rodents can really move if they need to. Check out this beaver's reaction to hearing a tail slap - sprinting and diving into deep water. Blink and you will miss it!!

A beaver's tail has several uses. If a beaver senses danger it will slap its tail on the surface of the water, with the resultant splash sounding as an alarm to other beavers. When a beaver 'tail slap' is heard, any nearby beavers will retreat into deeper water to where they feel safe. We have been lucky enough to capture this behaviour on camera, and this video shows the two beavers at our enclosed beaver project site reacting to a tail slap.

Tail slap! Ordinarily, the beavers I follow completely ignore the geese when they encounter them. This beaver seemed annoyed at their presence and slapped its tail as it swam by them. It’s possible there was something else nearby that caused it to slap its tail, but I didn’t notice anything. It seemed to come out of nowhere. #WildlifeWednesday #geese #beavers | Mike’s photos and videos of beavers

Check out the Beaver tail slap! This is a way to warn other beavers that a predator is near. We were in Elk County, PA observing a tranquil scene. All of a sudden several elk cows with calves bolted then this guy started to slap his tail. It's possible there was a coyote or bobcat nearby.

Beaver slapping its tail … in slo-motion. Earlier today I filmed a beaver slapping its tail a couple of times. I replayed the second time in slow motion at the end of the video. I find it interesting that their hind feet fly up in the air after they slap their tail. FYI, I rarely see the beavers I follow slap their tails because they’re quite accustomed to being watched by humans. However, a large dog on the sidewalk barked at the beaver, which made it swim away from shore and slap its tail thre

Beavers Slapping Their Tails! Beavers slap their tails as a warning sign when they sense there is danger. The beavers I follow are very accustomed to being watched and don’t often slap their tails because of people watching them. But every once in a while I catch them on camera slapping their tails, usually when a large dog is going by and they catch it scent. This video compiles a bunch of video clips of beavers that I filmed slapping their tails. #beavers #beaver #wildlifephotography | Mike’s
