It’s always fun to learn random facts about animals, and viewers were in for quite a treat when Alexis, @wildlforlife.alexis on Instagram, posted a video of what it looks like when a beaver runs, and it’s cracking everybody up!<\/p>\n
Alexis is the founder of Wild For Life Inc., where she leads wildlife rehabilitation and rescue efforts for animals in need. She recently shared a video of five things about beavers that you probably don’t know, but it was the footage of their beaver named Quiver that had us all in stitches!<\/p>\n
Oh, what we wouldn’t give to hold a baby beaver<\/a>! But it was the beaver running that stole our hearts. Alexis<\/a> shared in the video’s caption, “I couldn’t wait to share this clip of Quiver running. No matter how many times I see them run, it cracks me up every single time!” We can all see why!<\/p>\n Related: Hard Working\u2019 Beaver Stops Traffic While Trying to Drag a Huge Branch Across the Road<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Commenters’ Funny Reactions to Watching Beavers Run<\/p>\n Viewers left hundreds of comments about watching Quiver run, and some of them were just as funny as seeing it. Like @mrtubes, who shared, “So a beaver could beat me on the swim, but I’d be faster on the run. So in a triathlon, it would come down to which of us is the better cyclist.”<\/p>\n That left commenters cracking up and leaving some funny replies. @jessoceanwoods said, “I don\u2019t think they make a bike for legs that short. You got this!!”, to which @saaaashhhab replied, “But the beaver could flap its tail behind itself to propel the bicycle forward.” @luckyme_jt added, “The tail might hit the back wheel, though. Just like slap slap slap for MILES.”<\/p>\n @myhousewokeuplike this shared, “I was absolutely NOT prepared for the running LOL! I hysterically cried because I love them so much!” @ibmfk79 agreed, “I cannot get over how stinking cute<\/a> the running is!” @janet_reedy added, “Thank you for including slo-mo of the running! Epic!”<\/p>\n We laughed when @mrs_hildy2019 shared, “Well now I can say that I\u2019ve seen a potato run!” On that note, @maya_cev asked, “Are they naturally round? Or do you feed them a lot?!” Alexis replied, “They are naturally very round. We watch wild beavers<\/a> on our trail cameras, and they are equally as rotund as the ones here at the rescue!” They really do look like adorable furry potatoes!<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by PetHelpful<\/a> on Oct 17, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
