| Beaver Biology: North America's largest rodent. Castor canadensis is an aquatic animal that builds dams in streams and creeks, often creating small ponds
or flood zones. Beavers will gnaw on and chew down trees in order to provide wood for these dams. They can grow up to 60 pounds. They have a broad, flat tail and webbed hind feet. They eat mostly
bark and twigs and the roots of aquatic plants.
Nuisance Concerns: The only real concern is the creation of dams, which can flood an area. In this case, the beaver can be trapped and removed, but this isn't really a service that we provide. |
