The story of how the beaver got his flat tail is often rooted in folklore and illustrates themes of adaptation and survival. In many versions, the beaver originally had a different, more traditional tail, but after a series of events—often involving a lesson about humility or the consequences of vanity—his tail became flat. This transformation allowed him to be a better swimmer and builder, adapting perfectly to his environment. Ultimately, the tale serves to explain the beaver's unique physical characteristics while imparting moral lessons.
