  • They gnaw branches off of trees, no kidding. First of all they gnaw a tree down then gnaw the branches off and float them down the river into the spot that they will do the most good.
  • the beaver piles logs on the surface of the water than it swims underneath the pile and puts up poles to support the logs and build a roof

A family of beavers can live in one dam. This often includes up to three young and a mother. How many live in one dam depends on the size of the dam.
