World Second Largest Rodent_Wonderful Creature
Hello my lovely friends I am again here on steemit platform with a new post my this post will be about Beaver so in this we will discuss interesting information about Beaver so let's see.
This creature is the second largest
rodent in the world
He can be found only in a few places
in the world, including North America,
Scandinavia, Russia and Geneva
Years ago, beavers were hunted for
their fur, musk glands and tail
People wore the fur, made perfumes
and medicines from the musk glands
and ate the tail.
Beavers live in lodges which they build
in rivers and streams from small trees
and mud. They build a dam first, then
the lodge which looks like a dome on
top of a pile of wood. The entrance is
under the water which keeps out other
animals.
Beavers can stay under water for
about fifteen minutes
A beaver might live for 19 years, and
weigh 60 pounds and get to a length
of four feet
They mate for life and are very social
animals, living and working together
with other beavers
They eat fresh bark, water plants,
berries and fruit.
Their large front teeth help them chew
through the bark of trees, both to build
their lodge, and to eat the bark
After being hunted almost to
extinction, the beaver population has
survived.
Adult beavers can weigh between
35 and 60 pounds, making them the
largest rodents in North America
Males and females reach sexual
maturity at about 21 months. Once
mature, they will breed evey year
around February.

Gestation lasts from 105 to 107 days.
In May they will have a litter of three
to five kits
The kits are born fully furred with
open eyes. Two weeks after birth they
are ready to make their first venture
outside the lodge. They are weaned
within two months, but will not leave
to seek out their own territory until
they are two years old.
