WILDLIFE WONDERS -- Bucky builds a lodge for all his pond friends


 Beavers build their homes (lodges) on lakes, rivers, creeks and streams.

Beavers use their teeth to cut down trees and branches around the area and drag them to their building location. They chew on the wood to break it into smaller pieces and start making piles. Then they use their hands to squish mud between the logs.

 Up to nine beavers will live in the same lodge. Beavers use their homes as a place to rest, raise their young and for protection against predators.

    1. I tried to represent all the critters I see when I visit The North Pond. And yes, there allegedly is a beaver at the pond who has been felling trees! They hope to capture it and relocate it. I have talked with people who have seen it over the years. This is quite an urban area and it's remarkable it lives there!
