    Beavers are large rodents that live near rivers and lakes. They have flat tails that help them swim and balance, and use their tails to alarm others of danger. Beavers build dams out of wood and mud to create ponds and canals. They eat plants, leaves, bark, and collect food piles for winter. Beavers are excellent builders that spend much of their time constructing dams.
