Beaver / Castor canadensis

Beavers are famously busy, and they turn their talents to re-engineering the landscape as few other animals can. When sites are available, beavers burrow in the banks of rivers and lakes. 
Beavers have amazing sharp teeth, and incredibly long, so they can eat through very thick and hard objects, on the picture above is an image of a beaver holding a stick and chewing through it.

Beavers can also swim very well, they are really talented.


A beaver is a herbivore and lives up to 30 years, they are mammals too.
Beavers are like humans because they can manipulate their homes how they like.

Beavers are small.
