Last couple of discussions about the beaver have been about its remarkable design, specialized for aquatic life, and its uncanny dam, food storage, den and canal building skills. The beaver is a capable builder. Its best-known structures, the dams, are built by beavers that need to enlarge the underwater habitat open to them in winter. The dam creates a pond deep enough not to freeze to the bottom, providing storage for winter food and year-round underwater access to the lodge secure from predators.
