The
beaver is a primarily nocturnal, large, semi-aquatic rodent. Beavers
are known for building dams, canals, and lodges (homes). They are the
second-largest rodent in the world (after the capybara). There are an
estimated 6-12 million beavers inhabiting North America.
The
beaver is a large rodent that moves with an ungainly waddle on land but
are graceful in the water, where they use their large, webbed rear feet
like swimming fins, and their paddle-shaped tails like rudders. These
attributes allow beavers to swim at speeds of up to five miles (eight
kilometers) an hour. They can remain underwater for 15 minutes without
surfacing, and have a set of transparent eyelids that function much like
goggles. A beaver's fur is naturally oily and waterproof.
Beavers are herbivores and prefer to eat leaves, bark, twigs, roots, and aquatic plants.
The
breeding season extends from early March to mid or late April, after
hibernation. A mated pair remains in the same den throughout the 31-32
gestation period. As birth of the young approaches in April or May, the
male leaves the den. One litter is produced annually, usually containing
2-6 blind, hairless and helpless young. The young are weaned and ready
to seek their own dens at five to six weeks of age.
