The beaver eats bark, leaves, stems, and sap from the trees. It's snake skin-like tail propels it silently through the water. Chattering, greeting, caring for its young, it lives in a river or a stream somewhere in a woodland. A beaver has really sharp teeth which it uses to cut branches. They eat bark, leaves, stems and sap.
Beavers have two eyelids, one for sleeping and one for swimming.
The beaver is the largest rodent in North America. Beavers weigh 46-63 pounds. They can swim 1 mile before coming up for air and also have webbed feet. They greet each other by chattering and by nibbling each other's cheeks. Beavers build lodges in the middle of ponds, usually with 2 tunnels.
