About this document
Beavers: Anatomy, Behavior, and Ecology by NovozLizard is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Beavers, belonging to the genus Castor, are large semiaquatic rodents found in the Northern Hemisphere, with two species: the North American beaver and the Eurasian beaver. They are known for their dam-building behavior, which creates wetlands that support diverse ecosystems, and are considered a keystone species. Historically overhunted for fur and castoreum, both species have rebounded in population and are currently listed as species of least concern by the IUCN Red List.
