Beavers have the ability to create their own ecosystem to meet their needs. Beavers have Adaptations (specialized body parts and behaviors) that allow them to meet their Basic Needs of Food, Water, Shelter, and Right Temperature. The ecosystem they build also provides them with Protection.

These teeth allow the beaver to eat bark and cut trees. Beavers store tree bark in the middle of their pond for use during the winter months.

Shelter-Beaver Lodge
Shelter-Beaver Lodge
Once the beaver pond has reached a certain depth, the beavers go into lodge building. They produce a home using the same materials as their dams. They have access through underwater openings. During Winter, the mud and sticks freeze solid giving the beavers an insulated home needing only their body heat for warmth.

Beavers instinctively block water through dams. They receive training form their parents over two years before they leave on their own. The dams are made of logs (without the eaten bark) and mud. This provides a pond that the beaver can swim in to escape from danger. Beavers have adaptations including waterproof oiled fur, webbed back feet, and membrane covered eyes for underwater sight.
