No. We can't either. It's why we suck at digesting plant matter and only shit like fruits and vegetables that are basically fleshy material for seeds is even edible to us. If you tried eating grass or wood you'd ultimately just starve to death. To digest it well you need what herbivores have which is basically a fermentation chamber. Or have a microbiome adapted for it like termites. Even shit like carpenter ants don't eat wood though they chew through it. Cellulose is very difficult to digest, lignin even moreso. Very few things are capable of getting anything out of it.

Thanks to these invasive pieces of shit, the wetlands next to my property is now a fetid stagnant swamp. Even after a few other locals shot them all, the damage they've already done is irreversible. Fuck those bastards. If I ever see one around here again, I will greet it with a .45-70. The authorities even dynamited some of the dams afterward, which helped drain some spots, but not nearly enough and it certainly can't regrow several decades worth of extremely precious trees in this area.

>Is there an animal, other than humans, which has a more profound impact on its environment than the beaver?
Pretty much every animal on earth when their population gets out of control and left uncheck. Same with insects. Just to give you an idea, not long ago researchers and astronauts monitoring earth through space with satellite images noticed strange patterns in certain locations around the world when viewed from space. One location deep inside a rain forest(I can't remember the location), they noticed weird circular patterns forming. Researchers expected something man made because of how perfect the circles were and how they only recently, at the time, showed up and would eventually send a team of experts to go check it out on foot.
As they got there they noticed the area was like a swamp with a lot of grassy plains and the circles were giant grassy hills. When they dug up the hills is when they found out it was noting but a pile worms underneath and the giant grassy hill was just a giant pile of worm poop with grass and moss growing to make it look like a grassy plain. The reason being was that it was the perfect location for the worms as it hid them from their natural predators so they were able to live and breed unchecked under giant piles of poop that was big enough to form giant hills that can bee seen from space. The size of the worms were fairly large too just add more proof that they've been living long healthy lives.
People who say humans fucked the planet don't know shit about what animals and insects can do when left unchecked.

The beavers descend upon the swollen pumpkins under a harvest moon, their sleek flanks glistening with pond-slick desire. Teeth like lovers' nips sink into yielding flesh—crunch of rind giving way to pulpy surrender, juices spilling in reckless arcs. We ache for the forbidden clips, the raw footage of this primal feast: flanks heaving, maws devouring, the slow, deliberate ravage that leaves nothing but satiated husks bobbing in the afterglow. Where are they, these videos this October that promise to strip the gloss from our screens and leave us breathless?

It's good to see. That beaver knows capybara are not to be trusted, especially since that one incident where a beaver allegedly killed a man-- pure capybara propaganda. If a beaver were to lie around like a slacker good-for-nothing too, he'd have butterflies and reptiles and birds and whatever else gathering around him, landing on him, but he's got beaver shit to do.

nagasaki biopark, in one of their long beaver videos, has shown me how stupid kids can be.
In one video a beaver was given a massive branch, 8 meters long perhaps, to drag down a path -a staircase/slope double combo path- down towards its den that has one long wooden bridge connecting it to the outside over a water moat.
It's all very impressive to watch the beaver, watching his great carefulness and strength whenever he stops to reposition that long tree because of narrow path he has to navigate with the crowd around him, and then a *kid* comes into frame trying to force feed a single leaf. He's quickly shoo-ed away, complying quickly and without incident, and if you investigate and rewind the video you'll see the kid was holding that same leaf for quite some time, time-- minutes or more perhaps-- none of which time had been spent on thinking about why he needed to give a beaver a single leaf when the tree its dragging has thousands.

It's weird to think about but beavers operate mostly on instinct. They don't seem to have any higher thought behind planning and building dams, instead the sound of running water just triggers an instinctual drive to clog it and nature does a pretty good job at choosing where they should dam up.

Not that guy but we can't digest raw grass efficiently because our digestive system lacks the enzymes to break down cellulose, which is what grass leaves (yes, they're leaves) and wood are mostly made of. Cattle and other ruminants can eat that shit not because they produce the enzyme (cellulase) but because their chambered stomachs got friggin bacteria, protozoa and fungi that produce it to break the grasses down for them. That's why cannulated cattle are so important (I posted a few videos of them before, much to /an/'s horror; check the archive for the word 'cannulated'/'cannula' or 'fistula'/'fistulated' to watch'em or ask nicely and I'll see if I've still got it somewhere).
If cattle are malnourished from a lack of proper bacteria in the stomach and therefore unable to efficiently digest grasses, a farmer can reach into the stomach of a healthy specimen through the cannula, grab some rumen and plant biomass and manually transplant into a malnourished one, giving it the right bacteria etc to process grass properly.
Their ability to derive nutrition from grasses is heavily based on fermentation, yes, but here's the kicker: the bacteria etc digest the cellulose into glucose, the fungi, other bacteria and protozoa ferment the glucose into volatile fatty acids (acetate, propionate and butyrate, iirc) which get absorbed through the rumen wall.
We can't get nearly as much nutrition from those VFAs as they can because our digestion system and nutritional needs are just fundamentally different. That's why while we can eat bamboo shoots, which are grasses, we get relatively little nutrition from it. We only process about 5% of the possible nutrients cuz they're encased in cellulose.
If you're dead set on making grass edible, it's been done but the amount of cellulase necessary is ridiculous for the low amount of nutrition we would get from the results. However, the glucose made from that cellulase+cellulose digestion is currently used to make ethanol biofuel.
