Beaver dam building is a pretty fascinating topic. Unfortunately, no-one really knows how beavers evolved, let alone how dam building behaviour evolved.Beavers appear to build dams for two main reasons: protection from predators and to provide a stable source of food and easy access to it for ...
Known as nature's engineers, beavers restore wetland habitats through dam-building and felling trees, while slowing, storing and filtering water in their habitat, which attracts other wildlife and reduces flooding downstream. The UK has lost 90 percent of its wetland habitats over the pas...

A pair of beavers will build a dam, using branches, mud and stones, across a river. The water held back by the dam flows over the bank on either side of the river, flooding the nearby ground and forming a pond. At some point in the pond the beavers then build their home, which is...

Preventing the LumberjacksBeavers love to chew out round circles from trees to aid in their dam building. This, of course, exposes the trees to diseases and other problems. Wire fences can be put up around the tree to deter the beavers from trying to nibble on them. If you have a pond...
A long time ago, beavers were hunted for their fur. A hunter once saw five young beavers playing. They were jumping on the branches of a tree that lay near a beaver dam and pushing one another off into the water.He moved forward very slowly and was about to fire at the little ...
Beavers are animals you don't see often and are pretty adorable. The problem with having one would be needing a place for it to swim and potentially build a dam. That would take a decent amount of room for a big pool and land for it to roam around. You would need to invest in woo...
The water held back by the dam flows over the bank on either side of the river, flooding the nearby ground and forming a pond. At some point in the pond the beavers then build their home, which is called a lodge. This consists of a cone-shaped(锥状的) pipe of branches and sticks ...
