Congrats Denis, your great series has been chosen as spotting of the day! Though ungainly on land, beavers are perfectly adapted to aquatic life, moving through the water gracefully with their large, webbed rear feet and paddle-shaped tails like rudders. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152913260010603&set=a.10152383557885603.943728.10150120463815603&type=1 https://twitter.com/projectnoah/status/345735203043569664
