***About Beavers

***: Beavers, known scientifically as Castor canadensis, are remarkable for their natural engineering skills, capable of transforming landscapes with their elaborate dam constructions. Native to North America, these aquatic mammals play a crucial role in biodiversity, water table maintenance, and habitat creation. They are characterized by their sturdy bodies, sharp teeth for gnawing trees, and large, flat tails used for swimming and signaling danger. Beavers have a complex social structure and are known to live in close-knit family groups, often building dams as a collective effort to create still waters where they build their lodges. Their activities can help to restore wetlands and increase plant diversity, making them a keystone species in their habitats.
