Beaver

Nature's best known engineer, the beaver is skilled at chopping down trees and building dams. With their large front teeth, they chew chips out of the trunks of trees. The beaver then cuts up the tree for food and building material. The number of beavers has been reduced because man has trapped them for their fur and altered waterways, resulting in a loss of native habitat.
