North American beaver (Castor canadensis)

Beavers chew down trees to eat their bark and to make dams

The beaver's flat tail is multifunctional, helping it to swim, build dams, and communicate

Beaver dams help create diverse habitats that serve many wildlife species

In the '40s and 50's post WWII, beavers were parachuted into the wild to help stabilize water supplies and ecosystems of certain areas in Idaho
