Beavers can live up to 10
years in the wild and 35 years in captivity. Beaver's coats can be
the color of redish brown or black. Relatives of the beaver are
European beaver, mountain beaver, spring hare, scaley tailed
squirrel, pocket gopher, and other types of squirrels. The unique
thing about the beaver is that when they came down the Columbia
River, people started to hunt beavers for their gorgeous fur.
Their litter size can be
1-8 kits.beavers predtors are coyotes, foxes, wolves, wolverenies,
bobcats, moutaints lions, owls, hawks, and humans. A beaver's
favorite food is brich, willow, bark, reeds, water lillys, and
alders.Small trees or saplings can be handled by one beaver, mature
trees can be handled by two beavers. The beaver's lodge only has one
entrance, that is an underwater entrance. Beavers also build a dam,
so the water level doesn't flood the lodge. I hope you enjoyed
learning about beavers.
