Beavers

As used in the fictional novel The Sign of the Beaver (1983), it means dog.

The address of the Beaver Valley Historical Society is: Po Box 105, Beaver, OH 45613

A beaver has a few ways to protect itself. Its first line of defense is, of course, to be well-hidden from predators. It has a good, hidden-from-view place to stay inside its dam. The dam is out in the water, and the beaver den is part of the dam. Very few predators know about the den inside the dam. And if they learn about the existence of the den, it's practically unreachable in the water. Some animals will swim out to the dam and try to get at the beavers there, but I don't think very many succeed. If a predator (let's say a bobcat is after our beaver) should get to the dam out in the water, they next have to break into the den from above. The beavers have sharp front teeth! (Strong enough and sharp enough to cut down trees!) They can discourage a bobcat from continuing to try to break into the dam. If a beaver should be caught out in the open by a bobcat, he can whack! that bobcat a mighty blow with his tail! Say the bobcat gets an opening, and grabs the beaver's tail. He starts dragging the beaver away, but the beaver fights back with his big front teeth, and his claws on the front legs! I think there would have to be several bobcats that can gang up on the beaver in order to win this fight! The beavers would help each other, too. If another beaver is near, he would help the first beaver get away, then join him.

I'm sorry, I am going to answer this properly, but do yourself a favor and, oh, well, nevermind. When I tried to research a dress I bought by someone named Kate Beaver, you wouldn't believe the irritating responses I read. Beavers are large North American or Eurasian rodents. Their claim to fame as an animal species is their cleverness in using their teeth, along with their brains, in the building of their fantastic fortresslike homes. Beavers grow throughout their lives. It is not uncommon to find them maxing out at over fifty pounds. Females are at least the same size as the males, if not larger, something uncommon in mammals. There was once a prehistoric North American Giant Beaver. I will only touch lightly upon this subject to note it was the size of a small bear. It disappeared during the Holocene Extinction, about thirteen thousand years ago, give or take a week. Chew on that.

Distantly, in that they're both mammals. However, biologists group them in different orders: beavers are Rodentia; otters are Carnivora. Otters are actually more closely related to weasels and badgers than they are to beavers.

Well it just depends really, if its oak then probaly not much! it turns out oak can give the little beavers serious gas!! But if they are eating beech then they could happily spend upto 8 hours a day scoffing down some nice beech, especially as its a lighter wood in colour it doesnt pack as many calories.

This sounds like a description of a beaver.

A wood chopper could chop as much wood as a wood chopper could chop wood.

yes of course! then how they live on land

Beavers are listed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Not an endangered species.

So he can become a man and a hunter

No, Beavers live in the freshwater environs of rivers and streams, while kelp is a saltwater vine-like plant.

No, beaver lodges are named after lodges. The word goes a long ways back into the origins of English and German.

Beavers are hard working little creatures. They are able to carry weights in excess of 40 pounds. Amazingly that is what the average size beaver weights.

they almost sound like a human, it's sounds like holding tight your nose and talk

its lemur....if its smaller in size may be sugar glider or chipmunk...

Australia has over 1,500 species of native bee almost all of which are solitary bees. There are only about ten species of native social bee, but none of these store honey in large enough quantities to be collected.

The honey bee, apis mellifera, was introduced by European settlers nearly 200 years ago.

where did the beavers come from and how do they sleep at night

There are 16 species of weasels and vary in length from fifteen to thirty-five centimeters (six to fourteen inches), but in Britain the term weasel is in reference to the least weasel and newborns weigh from 1.1 g to 1.7 g, adults weigh 30 to 55 g

No, they don't. Supposedly the Mountain beaver can, but documentation did not accompany the report. Mountain beavers generally stay close to home.

We found a beaver in a tree in our backyard and photographed it, the answer is YES!!!!!!!

Yes, they do occasionally climb trees. I saw a beaver climb a little ways up a sycamore tree near my house. It swam across a small creek, ran up the embankment (I had a great view of its broad, flat tail), and scrambled a few feet up the big tree trunk like a cat would. I had my dog with me, and I think the beaver saw my dog and freaked out.

There is a small wooded area behind my home with a creek near by, I observed a beaver climb 6ft. up a tree then back down. it was identified by its chubby body and dark, wide, flat tail.

Yes. The beaver is North America's larges rodent. The scientific name is Castor canadensis. They can grow over four feet long and weigh up to 60 pounds.

They have very large heavy claws that they use to shred the cambium (soft underbark) of food trees like willow, maple, birch and poplar.

Attean would bring Matt food if Matt would teach Attean to read.

Both live near and in water however a beaver is much larger than a muskrat. An adult beaver typically weighs between 40 and 60 pounds. An adult muskrat typically weighs only 2 to 5 pounds. While a beaver has a broad flat tail a muskrat has a thinner more ratlike tail. The muskrat tail actually has some flatness, but vertical like a boat rudder. Muskrats do not cut down trees. Muskrats and beaver are the only mammals that build their home in the water, but the muskrat lodge is smaller. They often dig dens into the bank; again the muskrat opening is smaller. Muskrats do not store food for the winter as beaver do and a harsh winter can greatly decrease a muskrat population. Muskrats are more prolific breeders capable of multiple litters in one season whereas beavers have one litter annually.

Because they figure he has gone to see the White Witch who wants to kill the children, or at least prevent them from fulfilling the prophecy that means her doom, and because the beavers, as accomplices, would be turned to stone.
