International Beaver Day

International Beaver Day

Help people learn more about these amazing animals on International Beaver Day, April 7th. International Beaver Day is a good time to take a trip to a beaver pond, host a book display at your library, show a beaver video, and/or otherwise spread the word about the natural engineer.

The International Beaver Day aims to raise awareness about the suffering of beavers. Beavers are known for felling trees, but they also utilize every part of the tree they cut down. They eat buds, bark, and leaves, and then gnaw the branches and trunk into smaller pieces to build dams. These dams are useful in preventing floods and droughts, restoring northern wetlands, and helping to purify water. The largest beaver dam is located in Wood Buffalo National Park in Alberta, Canada, and is 850 meters long. Beavers are classified as mammals, rodents, and the European beaver is one of the most interesting animals in the world. They are monogamous and live in families, with parents and two to three litters of offspring, totaling five to seven young. Like humans, beavers also build homes, in their case, lodges or burrows. They can transform their environment to suit their needs and can even build canals for transportation. They have a developed signaling and communication system and can use water as a refrigerator by placing fresh bark on the bottom of the stream near their homes. Even if the water freezes, they still have access to food.
