*** About Beavers: Beavers, known scientifically as Castor canadensis, are one of the most architecturally skilled mammals, famous for their ability to build lodges and dams. Native to North America, these animals play a crucial role in their ecosystems by creating wetlands that provide habitats for many other species. In Quebec, beavers are emblematic of the wilderness and are integral to biodiversity conservation efforts. They are particularly noted for their powerful teeth, which continuously grow as they gnaw on wood, and their flat, paddle-shaped tails used for swimming and signaling danger. Their engineering activities can reshape the landscape, creating ponds and channels that benefit various wildlife species.
