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.

I'm not sure if this means that they are annoyed or if they use it as an indicator that there is something to do.

It can be both.

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

Can't you just play the sound of running water and trigger their instinct? I feel like I read that sometime in the last few years.

Beavers: the Nestlé of the animal world.

So, how does one cross post to another community/instance? I feel as though this could fit in with the beaver community on lemmy(dot)world, but I have absolutely no clue how to cross post.

You should have an option to crosspost it somewhere on the post. Or you could simply copy the direct image link and make a new post using that. Lemmy recognises crossposts by checking if the link is the same. For example if 2 unrelated users make 2 different posts with the same article it will count as a crosspost.
