What kind of animal is a beaver?

Beaver (English name: beaver) is a semi-aquatic mammal belonging to the order Rodentia. They live in rivers, lakes and swamps in North America, Europe and Asia, often building dams and houses in which to roost and hunt.

The beaver's body is well adapted to aquatic life, with well-developed swimming webs and thick fur to maintain warmth and buoyancy. Their teeth are very sharp and hard, and can easily chew through trees and woody plants, and can also be used to build dams and houses.

Beavers' behavior is characterized by collective cooperation, and they often live together in families, building dams and houses together. Dams regulate water flow, maintain water depth, and provide habitat and food sources for beavers. Houses are used for shelter and hatching of young.

In short, beavers are very interesting and ingenious animals, and human society has also conducted extensive research and application on their behavioral performances such as building dams and houses.
