The american Beaver is found around North america in ponds, lakes,rivers, streams and marshes. these beavers live inside lodges, which are builtwith sticks and mud and are either along the river bank or in the water.Beavers are vegetarian so they eat bark, stems, mushrooms, grasses, roots, andtwigs. They use their strong front teeth to get the food. 

The american beavers predators include wolves, coyotes, bears,foxes, and lynxes. Humans are also a threat to beavers due to habitat loss andwater pollution. The way the protect themselves is just by staying in theirdens and staying close to water so they have a way to escape from the threat. 

Something beavers are very well known for is their ability tobuild dams. They use their very strong front teeth to gnaw down trees and use amixture of mud and wood to build to water tight dams. The reason they build thedamns is so they can make a small pond to live in. They arearound 3-4 feet in length and weigh different depending on their age.They are medium brown with large tails like paddles.
