Beaver work

Castor canadensis

Description:

The North American Beaver needs to chew regularly or his teeth will grow too long. They chew trees to obtain their food and to build their dams and lodges. Many of the trees on the Pitt Polder where this is taken have wire cages around the base of their trunk to stop beavers from destroying all the trees along the dikes.
