beavers

Beavers can change landscapes by building dams. They make ponds and lakes. The beavers lodges are very strong in fact they are so strong only the strongest animals in the forest could break them down. When the beavers make lodges there are secret passages that lead to a cozy warm place inside.The family stays there. It is hard for predators to get in there, the only predator that can try to get the little kids is the otter. The little kids of the beavers are also called kits. They build the lodge and the big dam by themselves and it s a home for a lot of creatures frogs, moose, and ducks stay in the lakes and ponds that the beavers make. They cut down the trees with there teeth there teeth are very strong. They have orange and white in there teeth the orange is stronger than the white stuff, their teeth get worn down when they cut down a tree but they never stop growing, if they didn't get worn down there teeth would be four feet long in about a year. They cut 200 trees in one year! They bake dams out of mud and twigs. If it was only sticks or only mud then the water would just break the dam.
