Beavers do not necessarily use the same trees as construction material and as food. Inedible material is more likely to be used as the cap of a beaver family's food cache, the upper part which is frozen in the ice, while the cache itself is composed of edible, high quality branches, which remain unfrozen and accessible.

Beavers can be found in a number of freshwater habitats, such as rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. They are herbivorous, consuming tree bark, aquatic plants, grasses and sedges. Beavers build dams and lodges using tree branches, vegetation, rocks and mud; they chew down trees for building material. Dams restrict water flow, and lodges serve as ...
The mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) [Note 1] is a North American rodent.It is the only living member of its genus, Aplodontia, and family, Aplodontiidae. [2] It should not be confused with true North American and Eurasian beavers, to which it is not closely related; [3] the mountain beaver is instead more closely related to squirrels, although its less-efficient renal system was thought to ...
This ODNR map reveals where fall colors are emerging in Ohio. Recent rain and cooler temperatures are helping Ohio's trees transition to fall colors. This ODNR map reveals where fall colors are ...
Beavers eat sagebrush and bark from certain tree varieties, as well as twigs, roots, leaves, and vines. Interestingly, they use different woods to build dams , so they aren't eating the same wood ...
The forest has many types of trees like oak, hickory, cherry, white and red pine, maple, aspen, sycamore, hemlock, and other types of trees. Many species of animals thrive in Mohican-Memorial State Forest. White-tailed deer and wild turkey have been successfully reintroduced. Ruffed grouse and pheasant are occasionally seen.
Stable isotopes suggest that Castoroides probably predominantly consumed submerged aquatic plants, rather than the woody diet of living beavers. There is no evidence that giant beavers constructed dams or lodges. The shape of the incisors of Castoroides would have made it much less effective in cutting down trees than living beavers. It was ...
In most areas of Ohio, the tree canopies have started to change color. Some species of trees are on track for a typical fall-change timeline, while others are changing early after the dry summer ...
