I was suprised to know that wehn a beaver swims it has an extra pair of eyelids to help it see better. One of the adaptations of a beaver is its fur. The fur on a beaver helps it keep warm during the winter months. On the layer there are shiny guard hairs to protect it from predators. Beavers have two double hind claws. The claws help it stay clean. Another adaptation a beaver has is its scally tails . Beavers use there tails to help them swim. The tails are good use so that when they are in danger. To warn the other beavers they slap their tail in water. This is a behavioral adaptation.

ReplyDeleteHey did you know a beaver's teeth never stop growing!
ReplyDeleteSteven,I did not know that. But did you know that a bever is primarily nocturnal!
DeleteVery intresting facts & info but did you also know that a beaver's life span is about 16-20 years?
DeleteSteven that is amazing. I guess all that gnawing and moving sticks and twigs keeps the teeth from growing out of their head!
