The Beaver Animal
The Beaver is a member of the rodent family. It has a thick coat of brown wool and fur. It is the oily fur on the top of its body that keeps the beaver waterproof.
The two front paws are similar to human hands and have five toes. The hind feet are webbed to help with swimming. The Beaver also uses its wide, flat tail as a rudder when swimming. It also uses its tail to slap the water or ground, warning others of danger.
Its long, sharp, orange coloured teeth can gnaw down trees.
Beaver babies are called kits.
Today Beavers can be found in parts of North America, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
Beavers live in lodges - mounds of sticks, moss and stones with dome shaped roofs plastered with mud. The lodge has two entrances, both are under water, Beavers build dams to raise the water level.
