and interesting facts about beavers. Whoa, thats a lot about
beavers. I'm excited to teach it all to you. Hold on to your seat,
put your thinking cap on, and welcome to the world of beavers.
What is a beaver?
Don't know what a beaver is? Well let's find out! One of the things that
you should know about a beaver is that they are part of the mammal
group............like you! Beavers are also rodents. A beaver has all
different kinds of brown fur on their body. It can even be light brown
fur. Isn’t that cool?
Where do beavers live?
Many kinds of beavers can be found in different places
around the world. They can be doing many different things,
too. Beavers can be found scattered around the U.S.A.
They can also be found swimming and doing other things in
Canada. Beavers can live in Northern Europe too. Now
you have learned something new.
Beavers habitat/home
Let's get a real close look at what beavers' houses are like.
Beavers live in homes called lodges which are made in
ponds, marshes, or rivers. Their lodges are made out of
mud. They are also made out of sticks and bark all
smooshed together. Kind of gross but in a way that’s really
cool..don't you think so?
What do beavers eat?
Beavers eat mostly plants or stuff that grows naturally.
Beavers eat old dried up leaves. They also eat bark off of
trees. Lastly beavers eat roots from the bottom of plants
and trees. I wouldn't eat that if I were you.
What eats beavers?
This is going to be really gross. Wolves would attack and
chew up beavers.......EEEEWWWW!!!! Cougars is another
animal that likes to eat beavers. The last one is big
gigantic black bears! Well...it sounds good to the wolves,
but me...NO way.
How are beavers adapted to their
environment?
Beavers mostly adapt by using a lake or water of some
type. Beavers adapt to their environment by building their
lodges in the water. They also adapt by swimming in lakes
or ponds. Lastly they adapt to heir environment by
slapping their tail on the water so they can communicate to
each other. So now you know how beavers are adapted to
their environment.
Interesting Facts
I am so excited to tell you fun facts. They are really
awesome. A interesting fact is that beavers are the
second largest rodent in the world. Another interesting
fact is that beavers enter their home from an
underwater tunnel. Guess what? Beavers can hold
their breathe for fifteen minutes while their swimming
underwater of course. Wow! Beavers can do a lot of
cool actions!
Conclusion
As you can see, beavers are a wonderful animal found in
USA, Canada; and Northern, Europe. They also can live
up to 24 years. Did you know that their weight spand is 4060 lbs.? Their also 2-4 feet long. The main idea is that I
had a lot of fun working on this project.
