Sedalia Dave Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Its a well known fact that beavers build their dams using logs, however not many people know that Haggis in Scotland also build dams. The difference is that Haggis recycle the empty used Whisky bottles from their excessive drinking habits to build them. These incredible pieces of architecture can often be spotted when visiting The Scottish Highlands and help create an area that protects the Haggi population against predators and a safe drinking space. In the picture below we see a couple of haggi getting ready to finish some bottles off and and add them to the dam, truly a very rare sight captured.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Wonderful to see nature's creatures busy at their building their homes.
watab kid Posted February 8 Posted February 8 there is a reason we prepare haggis in conjunction with boiled cabbage ......... camouflages the smell and flavor ,
John Kloehr Posted February 8 Posted February 8 While the haggi are impressive, beavers are still the best dam builders.
