According to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham, Beavers can engineer riverbeds into promising ways to prevent carbon dioxide release into the air.
About Beaver:
The beaver, from the genus Castor, includes two amphibious rodent species.
They are semi-aquatic species.
Habitat: They live in streams, marshes, rivers, and ponds and along the shorelines of large lakes
Distribution: They are native to North America, Europe and Asia.
Characteristics of Beaver:
Beavers have long, orange, visible front teeth, called incisors. These teeth grow continuously throughout its life and are worn down through daily use.
Communication: One important communication signal among beavers is a tail slap on the surface of the water, indicating danger. Typically performed by an adult
They are known as "ecosystem engineers" because they construct dams of branches, stones, and mud in streams, rivers, marshes, and ponds.
These beaver ponds which the animals use as sources of food, as well as protection from predators.
