The beaver dam is one of the great natural wonders of the animal kingdom.

• There are two species of beaver, the European and the North American.
• Beavers are the largest rodents in the Northern Hemisphere.
• Beavers are excellent swimmers. They have webbed hind feet, like ducks. 

A symbol of industry and work ethic, this semi-aquatic rodent can alter its surrounding landscape in order to shield itself from dangerous predators. Because the dam has beneficial effects on the rest of the environment, the beaver is considered to be a keystone species wherever it resides. That is why beaver populations have needed to recover after having been over hunted in previous centuries.

• The name “beaver,” which entered the English language from early Germanic, can trace its roots back to a word meaning brown.
