*** About American Beaver: The American Beaver, known scientifically as Castor canadensis, is North America's largest rodent and plays a crucial role in biodiversity. These creatures are famed for their dam-building abilities, which create wetlands that support an array of other species. Beavers are primarily nocturnal and are adept at woodcutting, using their strong teeth to fell trees and shrubs. They have a distinctive paddle-shaped tail and luxurious fur, which was once highly sought after. Conservation efforts have helped stabilize beaver populations, highlighting their importance in ecosystem management and forest hydrology.
