More info: The Beaver is an aquatic species of rodent that is easily recognized by its large flat, broad, scaly tail. The tail is slapped on the water to create an alarm sound when threatened. Adults weigh from 16 to 32 kg and, including the tail, may be up to 1.3 m long. Beavers have strong teeth, including large, orange incisors. The front feet have claws and the hind feet are webbed.

Beavers are known for their engineering abilities and build dams, canals and dome-shaped lodges. On average, a beaver Will cut down around 216 trees per year and is able to fell trees up to 40 cm in width.
