In the winter, the beavers stay inside a lodge. They do not hibernate, so enough food must be stored to last all winter. Branches are kept at the bottom of the pond. During the winter, the hungry beaver dives down to get some food. Beavers build a dam of branches, mud and rocks across a stream, to form a pond deep enough, so water will not freeze to the bottom of the pond in the winter.
Beavers mate for life.
They stay with their parents until they are two or even three years old. Enemies Wolves,coyotes, bears, the wolverine, and lynx are enemies of the beaver. Beavers can be easily caught when they are on land. This page has been accessed 7296 times.
