Why Beavers Rule

As you know, the beaver is our mascot. Beavers can be taught to do all sorts of things. Things like building and creating amusement parks. Here's a little info about beavers, from www.beaversww.org/beaver.html:

"American Indians called the beaver the "sacred center" of the land because this species creates rich habitats for other mammals, fish, turtles, frogs, birds and ducks. Since beavers prefer to dam streams in shallow valleys, much of the flooded area becomes wetlands. Such wetlands are cradles of life with biodiversity that can rival tropical rain forests. Almost half of endangered and threatened species in North America rely upon wetlands."

Isn't that cool?!

Did you also know that they like eating berries? I know I love berries and I'm sure all of you earth beans out there love them, too. There are so many that I think I'll list them: blueberry, strawberry ... you know what? This is getting boring so I'm going to stop.
