Still Waters Posted December 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The North American beaver lives throughout most of Canada and the U.S., as well as parts of Mexico. The only other species, the Eurasian beaver, is native to nine countries, from France to China. “Beavers can change the landscape like almost no species other than humans,” says Glynnis Hood, wildlife ecologist at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus and author of The Beaver Manifesto. https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/12/animals-beavers-dams-science-rodents/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted December 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Makes one wonder what the American landscape would have looked like if the pelt 'trade' had not wiped them out so close to extinction back in the day ... ~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Northeaster had blown down about 4 acres of quaking bog ( cedar swamp) and they set up a whole village. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBene Posted December 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The south of Argentina is plagued by north-american beavers. I've seen some, they are cute. Apparently our government wants to get rid of them. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37973825 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSentinal Posted December 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I ate one this summer in Northern Canada. I don't recommend it at all. It just might be the worst tasting critter ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted December 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Not many people like them if they have to deal with them. If you have a pond or lake with trees around it, expect trees to be brought down. Typically beavers are not beneficial to humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
