Alberta, home to the largest Beaver Dam in the World.
Dam.
Some busy beavers in Northern (Alberta) Canada have built the largest beaver dam ever recorded - and they've actually been at it over 40 years. ...
The dam is an impressive 2,800 feet long (most dams are anywhere from 30 to 300 at their longest) and sprawls out in almost a birdlike shape. ...
Construction probably started around the mid 1970s, but .. it clearly continues today...
There's no telling how many beavers call the megadam home, but it could be hundreds.
In the wild normally only a single family of beavers would live in a dam, but that still could be as many as 18 beavers including parents and kits.
The dam is so large that satellite imagery from NASA actually shows the dam back in the 1990s...
There are 2 more large dams in the area that might merge with this one, creating a megadam.
The world's previous largest dam was in Montana and was about 2,100 feet.
