White beaver at Aquatic Gallery, Science City, Ahmedabad As per wiki, Beavers genus Castor are large, semiaquatic rodents of the Northern Hemisphere. There are two extant species: the North American beaver Castor canadensis and the Eurasian beaver C. fiber. Beavers are the second-largest living rodents after the capybaras. They have stout bodies with large heads, long chisel-like incisors, brown or gray fur, hand-like front feet, webbed back feet and flat, scaly tails. The two species differ in the shape of the skull and tail and fur color. Beavers can be found in a number of freshwater habitats, such as rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. They are herbivorous, consuming tree bark, aquatic plants, grasses and sedges.
