Not this:
Or this:
But this:
Conservation officers in Idaho in the late 1940s had maybe the best idea of all time — parachute beavers into the wilderness to repopulate.
The idea was to get beavers away from areas where they were overpopulated and causing trouble and into remote, hard-to-access habitats. By launching the beavers from the air, they saved time and money.
After Boise Public Radio reported on the program earlier this year, a historian poked around looking for a copy of a video that was referenced in the documents but couldn’t be found.
It turned up mislabeled and in the wrong box, according to Boise Public Radio’s recent update to the story.
Now it’s on YouTube. The full 15-minute documentary features the live-trapping and relocation of muskrat, beaver, and marten. Skip to 7:20 if you’re mostly interested in watching beavers parachute from airplanes.
