Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Beaver, Castor, Plastic Animal Figure, Model, Animal, Gift, Toy, 2 1/2" CWG102 B237

Beavers  are large,  semiaquatic  rodents  in the genus  Castor  native to the  temperate Northern Hemisphere. There are two  extant  species: the  North American beaver  (Castor canadensis) and the  Eurasian beaver  Beavers are the second-largest living rodents after the  capybaras. They have stout bodies with large heads, long chisel-like  incisors, brown or gray  fur, hand-like front feet, webbed back feet and flat, scaly tails. The two species differ in the shape of the skull and tail and fur color. Beavers can be found in a number of  freshwater habitats, such as rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. They are  herbivorous, consuming  tree bark,  aquatic plants, grasses and  sedges. Beavers build  dams  and lodges using tree branches, vegetation, rocks and mud; they chew down trees for building material. Dams impound water and lodges serve as shelters. Their infrastructure creates  wetlands  used by many other species, and because of their effect on other organisms in the ecosystem, they are considered a  keystone species. Adult males and females live in  monogamous pairs  with their offspring. When they are old enough, the young will help their parents repair dams and lodges and may also help raise newly born offspring. Beavers hold  territories  and mark them using scent mounds made of mud, debris and  castoreum, a liquid substance excreted through the beaver's castor sacs. Beavers can also recognize their kin by their  anal gland  secretions and are more likely to tolerate them as neighbors.
