A viral TikTok video shows a beaver in Canada doing what beavers everywhere do best—working hard. And it really struck a chord with the online community. The footage comes from a TikTok user who snuck a video of the beaver carrying a long branch through the snow as more snow falls from the sky.

The short video clip has 2.8 million views, but the comments section is where the real fun begins. People flooded the video with comments about beavers’ hard-working ethos, which is on full display in the clip.

“I just respect their little work ethic so much,” writes one person.

“bro gettin it done!!” writes another.

“it ain’t much but it’s honest work,” jokes another.

“Just a hardworking Canadian,” adds another commenter.

In fact, the hard-working-Canadian theme is a common one. An account that shares content about Canada picked up the video, adding overlaid text that says “Meanwhile in Canada,” along with the caption: “Just a Canadian hard at work.”
