North American Beaver

Description:

The beaver was chewing on low-hanging limbs beneath the sycamore tree.

Habitat:

Beavers are found throughout North America and statewide in Georgia wherever suitable habitat exists. Present in most areas with a year-round water flow, beavers are found in streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and low lying land or swamps along flood-prone creek and river bottoms. Beavers occasionally are found in roadside ditches, drainage ditches, and sewage ponds and are becoming more common in urban areas.

Notes:
