***About North American Beaver: The North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) is a keystone species, crucial for biodiversity within aquatic ecosystems. Their dam-building activities create wetlands, which are beneficial for other species including fish, birds, and amphibians. Beavers are known for their natural engineering skills, which significantly alter the landscapes, leading to the creation of new habitats. These industrious animals use their strong teeth to cut down trees and shrubs primarily for building and feeding purposes. As the largest rodent in North America, they play a critical role in forest dynamics and water table maintenance. Recognized by their dense fur, sharp teeth, and flat, paddle-shaped tails, beavers are an emblem of wildlife conservation efforts due to their impact on environmental health and diversity.
