Beavers are large, semiaquatic rodents that are found throughout the temperate regions of the world. They are known for their distinctive flat tails, which they use to swim and communicate with each other.

Beavers are primarily known for their ability to construct dams, lodges, and canals in rivers and streams. These structures help them create the calm, deep water they need to build their homes and raise their young.

Despite their important ecological role, beavers were nearly hunted to extinction in many parts of the world due to their valuable fur and the belief that they were harmful to human interests. However, in recent years, conservation efforts have helped many beaver populations recover.
