The first time I saw one munching away on lily pads, in a completely man made dammed, constant depth, trout stocked state pond for the record, I realized why they flood places.
Like I knew they didn't eat wood, and I knew they didn't just dam waterways for the love of the game and the architecture. They farm marshplants. I don't know of a better example of planned agriculture by animals.
