Description
Say "hello" to Justin Beaver - our name for this local celebrity of Church Hill Lake. The beaver is the largest rodent in North America. Adults usually weigh from 24 to 71 lbs being typical.
Like the Capybara, the beaver is semi-aquatic. The nostrils and ears are sealed while submerged. A thick layer of fat under its skin insulates the beaver from its cold water environment. Beavers are active mainly at night. They are excellent swimmers and may remain submerged up to 15 minutes. More vulnerable on land, they tend to remain in the water as much as possible. They use their flat, scaly tail both to signal danger by slapping the surface of the water and as a location for fat storage.
