What Is A Beaver?
Beavers are busy creatures who are made for crafting and gathering. Covered in a sleek, waterproof coat of brown fur, they have a paddle-like tail and sharp, chisel-like teeth. Beavers are known for their industrious nature and their remarkable engineering skills in building dams and lodges.
Diet
As foragers, beavers have a diverse diet. They primarily eat a variety of plants, including bark, leaves, and aquatic vegetation. However, they also enjoy munching on nuts, berries, and roots. Also, beavers are opportunistic carnivores, occasionally eating insects, fish, and small amphibians. Their resourcefulness extends to food storage, where they often stash away extra food in underwater hideaways.
Habitat
Beavers are commonly found in wet habitats, including streams, rivers, and lakeshores. They prefer areas with a lot of vegetation and access to water for building their dams and lodges. These lodges, constructed from branches, mud, and grass, provide shelter and protection for the beaver family.
