*** About American Beaver: The American beaver, known scientifically as Castor canadensis, is a keystone species in its habitat, crucial for biodiversity. These industrious creatures build dams across streams which create wetlands—beneficial for plants, fish, birds, and other wildlife. Beavers are primarily nocturnal and are excellent swimmers, adapted to aquatic life with webbed hind feet and a flat, paddle-shaped tail. Their activities can profoundly affect the surrounding ecosystem, illustrating nature's interconnectedness.
