Beavers are large rodents native to Canada that grow up to 1 meter long and weigh 30 kg. They have two layers of fur and teeth that continually grow. Beavers build lodges out of mud and sticks near forests and streams, and spend their time chewing food and storing it in their lodges for winter. Their predators include wolves, bears, hawks and owls. Baby beavers, called kits or pups, can swim at birth and leave home at 2 years old. Beavers are known for their skills at swimming, cutting down trees, and building lodges and dams, making them a symbol of Canada featured on the Canadian nickel.
