Field Notes
Description:
An overall brown body with webbed back feet and a large, flattened tail to help propel them through the water. I was on a field trip and we were catching fish with fyke nets, and we got two young beaver in two separate traps. The video shows us releasing him.
Habitat:
Found throughout much of North America in aquatic areas in woodland areas. This guy was in a swampy marsh where they thought beavers no longer inhabited until we caught two that day.
