I enjoy nature and photographing wildlife, and this photographer is given this extraordinary opportunity to video these beavers so close!

I have been about 20 feet from a beaver and these animals are normally very cautious around humans.

I am willing to bet that reality is not what we assume. The videographer (I don't see any photographs) likely spent many days at their dam, letting the animals get used to him and understand that he was no threat.

For an excellent example of patience, planning and work, not to mention appearances, watch the film Winged Migration. Then watch the extras on the DVD to see how they did it.
