	Trees for Life - Species Profile: European Beaver
		The beaver is mainly nocturnal and is highly adapted to its semi-aquatic lifestyle, with sleek waterproof fur, a distinctive, hairless, flattened tail and webbed hind feet, which it uses for propulsion in the water.
		The beaver is entirely herbivorous, and in the late spring and summer eats mainly aquatic plants, grasses, ferns and shrubs.
		Beavers are notable amongst mammals for their ability to alter their surroundings to make them more suitable as their habitat, mainly through the construction of dams, canals etc. These activities determine many of the relationships which beavers have with the flora and fauna where they live.

	Beaver - LoveToKnow 1911
		Beavers are nearly allied to the squirrels (Sciuridae), agreeing in certain structural peculiarities of the lower jaw and skull.
		Beavers are sociable animals, living in streams, where, so as to render the water of sufficient depth, they build dams of mud and of the stems and boughs of trees felled by their powerful incisor teeth.
		Fossil remains of beavers are found in the peat and other superficial deposits of England and the continent of Europe; while in the Pleistocene formations of England and Siberia occur remains of a giant extinct beaver, Trogontherium cuvieri, representing a genus by itself.

	beaver
		Beavers are best known for their natural trait of building dams in rivers and streams, and building their homes (aka lodges) in the eventual artificial pond.
		The habit of the beaver for hundreds of thousands of years in the Northern Hemisphere has been to keep these watery systems healthy and in good repair, although to a human observer, seeing all of the downed trees, it might sometimes seem that the critters are doing just the opposite.
		Beaver dams can be disruptive; the flooding can cause extensive property damage, and when the flooding occurs next to a railroad roadbed, it can cause derailments by washing-out under the tracks, or when a beaver dam bursts and the resulting flash flood overwhelms a culvert.

		Beavers play an important role in riparian ecosystems, and their extirpation in Scotland is a significant factor in the historical depletion of the country's natural biological diversity.
		The reintroduction of the European beaver therefore provides an ideal opportunity for the establishment of a concerted programme of riparian woodland expansion, and for the regeneration of important species such as aspen, which are currently under-represented in Scotland's native forests.

	Beaver Links
		The result of the beaver's engineering was a remarkably uniform buildup of organic material in the valleys, a checkerboard of meadows through the woodlands, and a great deal of edge, that fruitful zone where natural communities meet.
		Oddly, although the European beaver, Castor fiber, is nearly identical in appearance to the American beaver, it has no interest in dam construction; in most regions, European beavers confine their efforts to digging burrows in the stream bank.
		Beaver in North America were almost extirpated by overtrapping in the early 1900s, and estimates of the current population are as low as 2.5% of those present prior to European settlement.

		Beavers are vegetarians, feeding on woody plants during the fall and winter.
		Beavers produce scent from their castor glands that creates a reddish stain on mounds of grass and mud that they build at the water's edge.
		Beavers are one of very few animals that can greatly alter their immediate environment to suit their needs.

	European Beaver Habitat
		In certain environments, beavers have an exceptional ability to alter their surroundings and it is perhaps their effect on vegetation which is most striking.
		Beaver ponds can mitigate the negative effects of extreme flow conditions by acting as a store of water ensuring a constant flow during dry periods while dams can slow water velocity during periods of high flow.
		The large quantity of organic matter that enters the beaver pond either by the direct action of the beavers themselves or by other natural processes can have a significant impact on aquatic life-forms by increasing nutrient levels in otherwise impoverished streams.

	Aigas Field Centre - Information about the ecology of the European beaver.
		The two most distinguishing features of the beaver are its large front teeth (incisors) for cutting down trees and its big flat tail which is used to store fat, steer themselves through the water and slap to ward of predators.
		Beavers are stimulated to build dams where they can hear running water and begin damming where the sound of water is loudest.
		Beavers live in lodges which are constructed in a similar way to dams (sticks and mud).

	All About Beavers
		By damming streams, beavers often raise the water level to surround their lodge with a protective moat, and create the deep water needed for winter food storage in northern climes.
		By the early 1900s, beavers were almost extirpated from North America due to trapping and draining of lands for agriculture.

		Second, if any beavers did escape and became a nuisance, the project's last-ditch strategy of shooting the animal would, she argued, be illegal since the European beaver is a protected species.
		In a new and unexpected twist, six European beavers were released recently into a 15-hectare enclosure at Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire, owned by the property developer Jeremy Paxton (as reported by this newspaper on 27 October).
		Paxton's beaver pen may be a forerunner of a series of ambitious wilderness parks populated by lost big beasts: beavers, elk, reindeer, wild cattle and horses, even wolves and bears.

	Beaver
		Beaver underfur pelts contain densely matted strands that are particularly suitable for transforming into felt, and in much of seventeenth-century Europe wide-brimmed felt hats were in high demand.
		During spring time both male and female beavers secrete castoreum (a yellow, sticky and pungent substance) to attract other beavers, often depositing it in small “scent mounds” near the runways that lead into their lodges.
		However, by the seventeenth century the European beaver was becoming scarce, so the introduction of the American version to the furriers of Europe filled an economic void.

	Endangered Species: Beaver
		The European Beaver, which is indistinguishable from the North American Beaver, but classified as a different species, is hardworking and loyal.
		Now that the beaver's important role in preserving wetlands is recognized, conservationists are working to reintroduce it to countries, such as Hungry, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands where it had been extinct.
		The European Beaver is protected under the Convention on international Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which is administered by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
