Beaverid

Beavers (Castoridae), sometimes known as beaverids, are a family of (mostly) large semiaquatic rodents native throughout Eurasia, North America, and South America. They are all herbivorous and are known, in smaller species, to chop down wood of trees using their strong incisors to build nests known as dams. They are either solitary animals or they live in small or large groups, depending on a species. All known species of beavers are listed as Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and their tolerance to most human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
