MEET NATURE'S WETLAND ENGINEER
When beavers build dams they create wetlands.
Beavers flood areas to protect themselves from predators and to make underwater entrances to their homes.

What's for Dinner?
Beavers eat the leaves, inner bark and twigs of trees. One of their favorite foods is aspen twigs.
Muskrat or Beaver?
Beavers have a broad, flat tail that doesn’t show when they’re swimming. The muskrat has a thin, round tail that is either held out of the water or sways back and forth as it swims
Welcome to My Lodge
Beaver lodges are made of a mound of branches and logs, plastered with mud.
Beavers use their lodges to stay safe and warm, have babies and raise their young.
