Anatomy Of A Beaver

Beavers have large, scaley, flat, paddle shaped tails that they use to slap the water to warn other beavers of danger or to stay out of their territories. They also use the tail to aid in swimming, and to pack down the mud they use to build their lodges.

Beavers front feet are not webbed and they have 5 toes. This helps them to grasp sticks and things better.

Beavers have very coarse thick fur to keep them dry in the water.

Beavers have nagging wives to wake them up when strange people are staring at them and taking multiple photos while they try to sleep.
