Image Description
North American beavers (Castor canadensis) are found throughout all of North America except for the northern regions of Canada and the deserts of the southern United States and Mexico. They are the largest rodents in North America, and they spend most of their time in the water. Beavers are primarily nocturnal. They are only occasionally seen during the day, usually around dusk. To protect themselves from the cold and wetness they have waterproof reddish brown or blackish brown hair.
Interrupted in his daily routine by the photographer, this fellow spent a lot of time patrolling the nearby shore and slapping his tail to express his displeasure as well as to signal danger to his extended family.
