Facts about Beavers - beaver story

Beaver is a general name for three rodent species in two different taxonomic groups, i.e. Castoridae and Aplodontidae. You can find lots of interesting beaver pictures in our blog. Mountain beaver and Aplodontia Rufus are the only live beings in the Aplodontidae family which lives at North America's Pacific coast. Generally mountain beavers are smaller than the normal beaver and is similar to muskrats.

Family of Castoridae consists of two species, Castor canadensis (the true one or the common one) and Castor fiber (Eurasian or European beaver). In the past Eurasian beaver lived in the area from Eastern Siberia to British Isles. In the end of 19th century, the population of beavers reached to just 1,200 because of the over hunting. But, thanks to the reintroduction, natural spread and protection by the twentieth century, their number has increased to approximately 617,000 on 2003. At present days, you can find them all over Europe, with the exception of Italy, Iberia and the southern Balkans. You can find them as well in Mongolia China and Khabarovsk.

The true beaver that is C. Canadian, are originally from North America. The general beaver are living from arctic to northern Mexico, apart from Nevada, Southern California, some places in Alaska and general part of Florida,. There were few reports of inaccessible populations in places such as Temecula Creek and Southern California also.

Since 1975 Canadensis is Canada's official symbol. Between 1846 and 1882 more than 3.5 million beavers have been killed with the intention to sell in UK by Hudson Bay Company. Furs were so precious that it contributed significantly to the westward settlement and development of human settlement of Canada and North America.

Beavers are known for their normal trait of constructing dams on rivers and streams, and constructing houses, on the pond. Beavers as well build canals, which are very difficult to drag on the ground. They utilize their sharp teeth to cut plants and trees that they utilize for construction and food. Initially, they put vertical poles and then they fill the gaps of the poles with horizontally crisscrossed placed branches. They seal the gaps of the branches by blending mud and weeds until the dam confiscate adequate water to encircle the lodge.

Beavers

They are also known for their alarm signal: while starthtened and frightened, a beaver starts dive fast while vehemently spanking the water with its wide tail, and these spanks are heard from great distances under and above water. It warns other beavers in the region. Once one of them sounds the alarm, beavers nearby dive and possibly will not show up for some time. Beavers are sluggish on land, but they are excellent swimmers and can stay under water for near about 15 minutes.

How do you think, what do beavers eat? Lots of people think, that beavers eat wood, but it is just a stereotype, because beaver actually loves hamburgers and cheeseburgers! Do you know why beavers have orange teeth? That's right - that's because they eat a lot of oranges, oranges are beaver's favorite food. They also drink a lot of orange soda and eat cookies like guys from David Blaine's videos. By the way beavers are huge fans of David Blane, because they like street magic and all kind of pranks.

Cartoon beaver adventures

Cartoon beaver

Hey folks, this time i have a nice picture of cartoon beaver to show you. It was so funny, that i couldn't hold myself from sharing it with you. This swimming beaver looks like he is on drugs, look at the dark circles under his eyes. Okay, i'm just joking, beavers never use drugs, because drugs are bad and if you use drugs you are bad, 'cause drugs are bad, like Mr. Mackey from South Park said. And if they say it in South Park, it means that it's true.
But anyways, i'm wondering where this guy is going on that "Titanic", beavers don't usually float on trees, they are great swimmers and they just love to swim. It looks like this little guy is a sailor with his great boat. However you can do anything if you are a cartoon hero even more than in movies, plus animators often give it all a big portion of funny sound effects, and a funny names too. Guess what name did they give this fellow - captain Redhead Beaver? Like the one from Beaver Island.
Yeah, i wish that someone would make an animation about me, but who would be interested in crazy violet beaver? That Hollywood guys say, that natural looks are modern now. Where are 90th gone, when all kind of punks like me ruled the world.
Well, i've heard history goes in circles, so maybe in next ten years you will see a violet and crazy cartoon beaver, but for now, lets just hold our breath and wait.

Funny smiling beaver cub

Beaver cub is one extraordinary little guy, it's extremely cute, fluffy and totally adorable forest and wetland citizen. Beaver cubs are little bit clumsy especially when they get out of water, but they try to make fast moves like their parents, what makes them look funny. Little beavers prefer to stick with their parents till they grow up, but later they sometimes even leave the dam where they were born to free a space for their younger siblings and to found their own place and life partner and to build their own dam where they can settle down. When they build their own dam and create a new beaver community they stay there as long there is enough food for them and as long as that food is easy to transport to their lodge or while their activities are not interrupted by humans, who sometimes are not happy with beavers around their ponds because of the possible floods caused by beavers. Sometimes beavers live all their life in one location, but sometimes they are moving from place to place, beavers can re-build a main dam over night.
It is really fun to watch cute beaver cub playing in your pond, that is a little reason why people should not destroy their homes and also because beavers are greatest wild architects amongst all animals.

Redhead beaver is a metalhead

So what do we have here - is that a Redhead beaver? Imagine if it had iroquai! It would look totally awesome! That Redhead beaver likes headbanging and bone shaking to the sounds of metal. He's not some kind of punk or emo, he is a true metal lover. He likes hardcore, trash metal, alternative metal, nu metal and metalcore. Hes favorite bands are Metallica, Trivium, Korn, Bullet for my Valentine, Amatory (great Russian band), Deftones and Snobrand (band from Latvia with unique style).
He decided to color hes hair red last year when he went to a beaver village winter park metal fest and he liked it so much, that he decided to stay redhead to keep the memory of that fest's atmosphere. And in my opinion it looks perfect on him. Hes mom says that it will be inappropriate when he'll be an old beaver and youngsters will laugh on him, but he doesn't care because as he thinks you must do what your soul desires 'cause you only have one life (if you aren't cat of course, these little guys have nine of them).
So i told him - redhead beaver, you are totally right and went to try out some violet on me.

Would you like a little beaver?

little beaver

Once upon a time, when i was a little beaver i was so good at getting into troubles, like most of the kids do. And so it was one beautiful day in Beaver village, i was playing around with my friends, when we suddenly got bored and decided to do something funny and interesting.
My grandpa - Old beaver often told me scary stories about places where humans live and called that places cities, but he never said why should i be afraid of that cities, he only strictly said that i am not allowed to even show my nose there, because it is very dangerous. As i was just a kid i thought, that where danger is - there is adventures, and i really wanted to participate in some great adventures.
So that day, i told my friends about cities and of course we decided to sneak there without letting adult beavers know. And so we were on our way. Our company got there pretty fast by the river downstream. We understood that it was one of that cities right away, because we have never seen something, as we thought back then, so beautiful, before. And we went for a walk. We were running, screaming and trying to find out who lives in there, when we saw a funny looking long bodied creature which must have been that human, grandpa told about, it was very tall and clumsy. So it stood there on some long thing which is stepladder as i know now and did some funny moves with it's hand over the wall and that wall became violet when he rubbed it with his hand. We were so surprised and thought it was magic. We discussed it and decided to come closer and when we did we smelled something strange, our heads started to go round, my friends got scared of that but i wanted to look like a hero and went further, when suddenly i stepped on something sticky and felt in some big big bucket, when i got out all covered with that sticky thing, smelling funny, i got sick and lost my consciousness, guys carried me back to beaver home where i woke up and found myself all violet.
And that is exactly how i became violet and learned why cities are dangerous for silly little beaver.

Beaver home - so warm and cozy

This is my beaver home, this is so cool and expensive beaver apartments, I would even say - it's a beaver palace. Welcome to my cribs. I make parties every sunday night and all the forest VIPs are invited. This is so cool to live in a big and cozy lodge which we, beavers build with our own little hands. Did you, people knew that we are great constructors and architects? In wildlife we are the best in construction works. But unlike you we can build a hole dam over one night, that's right - night, not day, because we are night creatures! Could you handle that challenge? We are so good at building, because we are very rational animals, we choose places were everything is handy, and if it's not we do everything to improve it. We build canals to provide materials and food in the fastest way we can. We also help nature to avoid floods and erosion. Our other color after brown is definitely "green". Once we even built a world's biggest dam which can be seen from satellite, imagine how big is that. And we are just a small rodents, of course not so small among other rodents, only capybara is bigger then average beaver but in front of you, people, we are pretty small. So take that, humans, we do not know now, but maybe we even built Egyptian pyramids, not you or aliens! :) I mean if we can build a beaver home which can be seen from space, why couldn't we build a pyramids?
