She “immediatelystarted building a damat the door where her roommate exited…you know…in case Ziibi tries to come back inside…,” the rescue center wrote on Facebook alongside a video of Nibi crafting her dam.
At the time of Nibi’s construction project, Ziibi was playing in the semi-aquatic enclosure, the rescue added.
In the clip, Nibi gathers sticks and places them in her room’s doorway, alongside other branches that she likely set down before filming started. She then trots away, grabs one stick she left behind, and adds it with others.
The video ends with Nibi hopping away from the entrance, possibly looking for more branches.
Speaking to San Antonio’sKENS5Newhouse founder Jane Newhouse said beavers like Nibi develop dam-building instincts at a young age.
“It’s so ingrained in them they’ll take anything,” she said.
As for Nibi’s cute hop, it’s pretty rare.
“[Biologists] asked if I had raised Nibi with a rabbit or some animal that hops a lot,” said Newhouse, clarifying that Nibi simply hops when she’s excited.

In the footage, Ziibi is standing outside of Nibi’s cage.
“Ziibi wants to be friends so bad,” the rescue center wrote with the video, adding, “But Nibi is a brat.”
Nibi goes as far as trying to reach through her cage to push Ziibi, “But Ziibi knows she is safe. Ziibi just likes being close to her,” the facility continued.
“Ziibi may also enjoy aggravating Nibi. She could move, but she chooses not to. We have our hands full with these two.”

“Though we absolutely love Nibi, we can’t help but root for Ziibi in these situations,” the rescue wrote of the moment. “She wants to be friends so badly. Though the fights between them have calmed down, Nibi still tries to bully Ziibi sometimes. That’s why we always watch their interactions. This morning, Nibi got instant karma, and it made us giggle”

“We told Nibi that the goal is for her to be rehabilitated and released, but she told us she has dreams of playing professional football…,” the rescue captioned the photo.
