Beavers

Two reasons beavers cut trees is that beavers forage on small trees and limbs for cambium that is under the bark for a food source.  Then, once the beavers eaten the cambium, the trees and branches become construction material for dams and beaver lodges.  Their teeth have an orange coating rich in iron that gives the beavers teeth incredible hardness, also their fur lined lips enables them to swim without taking water into their lungs.

Northern Loons

Loons eat fish and can swim underwater over 100 ft. or more.  They mate for life.  The parents look alike and take turns insulating the egg or eggs on a nest near the shoreline.  They have beautiful red eyes.

Snowshoe Hares

Hares are different then rabbits as hares are born above ground and their eyes open. Also they turn white by winter, great for to hide in the snow from predators.  In the spring and summer they normally are out early morning or late evening, especially on dirt roads.
