Beavers

Beavers are semi-aquatic mammals known for their ability to build expansive dams and lodges using wood, mud, and stones. These structures create ponds that provide safety from predators and suitable habitats for their families. Beavers are essential ecosystem engineers, as their dam-building activities help manage water flow, improve water quality, and create wetlands that benefit many other species. They are herbivores, primarily feeding on tree bark, leaves, and aquatic plants. Their work influences local environments significantly, shaping the landscape and supporting biodiversity.
