Natures Children
Beaver
Castor canadensis)

beavers began to diminish. The
original number Of beavers Is esti-
mated to have been something like
go O00, 900. For years the slaughter
Of these valuable animals continued.
Then there was an awakening, and
today these fine pond builders have
been slowly rebuilding their lost
prestige.
The favorite haunt and home
range Of the beaver is along sluggish
waterways and small lakes. There
are willow and aspen trees growing
along the clay banks and the water
supply Is assured. A beaver does
not care for q wide range. Once
settled, he prefers to remain on the
premises. His offspring often estab-
lish themselves in ideal locations
they have found during their sum-
mer camping trip. Bachelors and
widowers often travel as much as
10 or - miles, not only to find .
mate, but also a new residence site.
When the young beaver wishes
to establish his home. he selects
the trees growing on the margin Of
the stream. These always lean
toward the water. The long sticks
are carried in the teeth with the
end over the beavers back. If on
land. The small logs are rolled by
a single worker or with the assist
ance of his mate. This work is
accomplished by pushing the larger
trunks with their paws, shoulders,
hips or whole body.
Next to the four teeth-seh sharp
ening, wearever axes+the forepaws
play an important part in the life
of the builder. These really mar
velous hands handle the mud, sticks
and stone for the lodge. Search
out the hidden leaks in the dam, and
when the beaver wishes to comb his
hair or scratch his back, he is
never embarrassed for the lack Of
sucn necessary implements. as his
hands can supply this need also.
The tail has been given too much
credit for assisting the engineer.
It is an excellent device for broad
casting. One resounding slap on
the water sounds like a giant fire.
cracker-it notifies the clan to dive,
and it is a useful as a rudder and
a handy prop when the beaver sits
down. Our rodent engineer is an
who has always practiced
constructive conservation,
