Outside—Biologists recently discovered a beaver dam in Alberta’s remote Wood Buffalo National Park, stretching for more than half a mile and visible from space, according to backpacker.com. Scientists think the beavers spent over 20 years building their palatial digs from sticks, rocks, and mud, and several generations have used it as a comfortable home. Biologists working in the park found the beaver dam by accident while trolling Google Earth, proving the site is a more productive waste of time than the Dancing Cat Page.
