Me and you just think alike lol this post awakened the same sleeper memory in both of us :P

Also I think mine was technically after yours, there were no posts when I went to type my comment and yours popped up after I hit post lol

Naw, we posted at the same time. When I typed my comment (the one i assume you’re refering to) there were no comments. Once I hit post this one was already here.

Great minds think alike or something like that lol

Super fair point, I’m projecting human emotions onto the beavers & don’t actually know how they feel about the sound of running water lol

From what i remember, it has to do with the noise of flowing water. Bevers find the sound annoying and will cover it until it stops.

I remember a study where they played river noises from a speaker and the bevers covered the speakers with sticks – even in the absence of any water.

They can happen to anyone. Some hypothesis why they happen include: uv damage to skin, hormonal imbalences, malnourishment, and genetic factors.

I once had one on my shoulder and it really weirded me out lol
