Did you know?
Beavers are rodents! Yes, these flat-tailed mammals are rodents, like rats and squirrels. In fact, they are the largest native rodents in North America. Just like other rodents, beavers have large incisors, which they use to chew through trees to build dams and dens. Beavers are the original wetland engineers. By damming rivers and streams, beavers create ponds and wetlands.
Beavers range from dark brown to reddish brown. They have a stocky body with hind legs that are longer than the front legs. The beaver’s body is covered in dense fur, but its tail is naked and has special blood vessels that help it cool or warm its body.
