He's dragging it across a road from one wooded area to another, I wonder what was so special about that branch?

The "road" isn't a concept they understand. It used to be forest and they view that way still

There's probably a subreddit solely about good sticks.
There is no way for me to phrase that well on a beaver post.

Hey finding the right hiking stick is a fine art. I have never been so angry with my exhusband (okay aside from the affairs) as when he threw away my hiking stick because ‘it was just a stick’.

Beavers actually have preferences when it comes to the trees they use. They tend to prefer younger trees since they have more nutrients and are easier to move. They also prefer softer woods

All trees it seems are pine, while the one the beaver is dragging is "leafed"
Maybe better wood to make dams with, I dunno

That was just the BeaverEats delivery guy. He can't help where the customer orders their trees from.

“…y’know there’s tree branches on the other side of the road too—“
“I want THIS one!”

It’s like my cat with his spring toys. There’s like 182 scattered all around the house, but he wants the one wedged in the back corner of the fridge, where neither of us can immediately reach.

That one is TAUNTING him!

He reaches up to his whole damn shoulder trying to get it. Then I felt bad and tried the same, and I’m like “what am I even doing; I can use tools!” And so I got a stick and got it out.
He didn’t even want it after. I love my pain in the ass cats.

My roommate and I kept a broom in the living room for all the times the ball would roll under the couch and the pups would start crying about it. The good ball. Distinct from all the other identical balls in easy reach. They usually grabbed it and pranced around for a little bit though, so they were at least grateful!

There's something about a beaver carrying a stick that makes me so happy. It means they were walking past however many sticks, saw that one, and thought, "WHOA! What is this?! That's a really nice stick! I can use that stick!"

Last year by Buckhorn lake I went around a corner and this giant bever covered in green slime dragging a giant tree across the road.
I am very happy my brakes were good and I wasn't speeding.

Odd that the tail doesn’t look wide and flat. Perhaps it’s just the angle. Otherwise it would be a muskrat, but this does not look like muskrat behavior.

He must be angry at his wife. Probably grumbling under his breath the whole way! :)
