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.

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!!

However, once every month or two, someone or something on shore concerns them enough for a quick tail slap, and I’ve managed to capture a few on video. Enjoy! #beavers #wildlifep

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.
