Hearing about a historical extreme planning and it being actually genius is more rare than might believe.

They tested the different drop situations on a single beaver. It's said that he loved it so much that he'd constantly try to get back in the boxes after being released

[nugget]

The one beaver who passed managed to somehow get out of the box while it was in the air, and fell to its death. Rip

[funnyfish]

That one beaver: "Why am I falling so quickly?"

[Nuclear_Lemon]

I never thought i would ever see link skydiving with a beaver in a animation from a history channel... But here we are

[NowThatsASpicyMeatball]

The beaver distribution system is glorious

[zFolder_]

"Where are we dropping boys?"
"In idaho"

*B-Day had begun. Send in the parabeavers*

Not sure why Link is here but I’m chill with that. Hero of Idaho’s beaver population.

[dimensionlord]

"The beaver population is dropping"
"The beaver population is dropping"

[IbarakiPlays]

I like that he said "one animal died" and while it should be obviously a beaver - what if the box hit an animal in the head instead 😂

[lemmymaster]

You had me there for a second at the end.

The funniest thing about it, the one that was used for testing grew to love it for soem reason, 12 test jumps, all 12 successful too.

[ThisDumbassisCertified]

As an Idahoan, I’ve never been so confused, proud and grateful of my country.

[edvinhagglund]

It gets better: they had to fine tune and test the concept before doing a massed dropp, and they used the same beaver (named, I kid you not, GERONIMO) for almost all of them.

Geronimo completed MORE THAN A DOZEN LANDINGS by parachute, arguably making him the coolest rodent to ever walk the earth

[Jeffrey-hugb]

Beavers:
I hate car rides there to stressful
Humans : ok I know what your looking for
*THROWS THEM OUT OF A PLANE*

[NobleS]

This is one of those "that worked?" moments

[Spider-Man]

Beavers realy said : where we dropi'n boys ?

[bigdoggo]

Link jumping with the beavers is something i didn't expect 😂

[RedMageUltra]

“It’s raining beavers!”

“Hallelujah!”
