Description
Beavers are well known as ecosystem engineers in North America. In Australia, lyrebirds play a big role in shaping their environment when they use their toes to dig in the ground for food.

Lyrebirds are best known for their spot-on imitations of other birds’ songs and calls.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
