Beavers
The beaver and the capybara are the world's largest rodents. But beavers are related more closely to squirrels. Typical contributions include questions about this semi-aquatic animal's defensive behaviors, geographic ranges, keystone roles in pond building and wetland health, survival threats, and troubled interactions with people.

Beavers include all species within the genus Castor, of which only the Mongolian Beaver (Castor fiber birulai), a subspecies of the Eurasian Beaver, is protected in the United States. It has been officially endangered since 1976.
The beaver's status within Europe, particularly the Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber) is covered at the second related Wikipedia link.
Additional infoBeavers were hunted and trapped on a large scale, due to the commercial market for their fur and medicinal uses. With no regulations or controls, the beaver was hunted almost to extinction. They depend on wetlands to build and survive, which we drain and use for our own purposes.Today many farmers and other land owners see the beaver's building as a threat to crops and livestock by flooding. The beavers cut down trees at a staggering rate and the damage to a crop can have far-reaching repercussions, especially if it is a 15 to 20-year-old crop of trees.
These farmers are faced with hard solutions: having them removed, killing them, or blowing the dam up (which might kill them depending on several factors including the placement of the lodge). Proper removal of the beaver and family, during the correct season, to an area that is protected is recommended.
Today in the US, the hunting and trapping of the beaver is controlled and regulated federally to maintain a balance, and the American Beaver has made a good recovery in most areas of the US. But not all species of beaver have recovered so well in all their regions.
On the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the American (Castor canadensis) and Eurasian Beavers are regarded with "Least Concern," while the US Fish and Wildlife Services Endangered Species List only contains the Mongolian. (The Mountain Beaver, Aplodontia rufa, shares both statuses but is not actually a beaver.)

Yes beavers are endangered species.
Dams are usually built were there are droughts or floods because damns can control the flow of water to prevent floods from happening and store water in case a drought affects a local town, village or city.

Yes, beavers float they float on their back. I think God made beavers able to float is so they can find wood faster. beavers can also swim. A beaver and a platupus are just about the same thing. but Iam not sure if a platupus can swim like a beaver can. Beavers are very smart animals like a cheetah or tiger because it can find it's habitat fasterr than other animals can because the're house is like dam.
A large aquatic rodent of the genus Castor, having thick brown fur, webbed hind feet, a broad flat tail, and sharp incisors adapted for gnawing bark, felling trees, and constructing dams and underwater lodges. Beavers sometimes build dams to create lakes, slowing the flow of water and so changing their habitat. They also create lodges to live in.
