A happy beaver standing in the forest

The upright beaver is surrounded by tall trunks that reach the top of the scene, with leaves growing near the lower edge. Its compact body, small rounded ears, front paws, and characteristic face identify the woodland animal. The close forest setting places the beaver among the vegetation associated with its natural habitat.

How beavers change woodland habitats

Beavers cut branches and trees with strong front teeth and use woody material when building dams and lodges. A dam can slow a stream and create a pond, which may provide habitat for many other plants and animals. Because their work changes the flow of water, beavers are often described as ecosystem engineers.

True-to-life colors of the beaver and forest

  • Eyes and nose: dark brown to black
  • Tree trunks: shades of brown, gray-brown, tan, or pale gray depending on the species and bark
  • Forest leaves: green during the growing season, with possible yellow, orange, red, or brown tones in fall
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why do beavers have such large front teeth?
Their incisors grow continuously, so regular gnawing helps keep them at a practical length. Iron-rich enamel makes the front surface especially hard and gives it an orange tint.
What helps a beaver swim?
Webbed hind feet provide strong propulsion, and the broad, flat tail helps with balance and steering. A beaver can also close its ears and nostrils while underwater.
Do beavers eat the wood they cut?
They eat bark, twigs, leaves, and other plant material rather than consuming an entire trunk. Larger pieces of wood are often used as building material or to reach edible branches.
