Two species are currently recognized, C. dilophidus in the Southeastern United States and C. ohioensis in most of North America.
The grit, not grass hypothesis is an evolutionary hypothesis that explains the evolution of high-crowned teeth, particularly in New World mammals. The hypothesis is that the ingestion of gritty soil is the primary driver of hypsodont tooth development, not the silica-rich composition of grass, as was previously thought. [1]
The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) or European beaver is a species of beaver widespread across Eurasia, with a rapidly increasing population of at least 1.5 million in 2020. The Eurasian beaver was hunted to near-extinction for both its fur and castoreum , with only about 1,200 beavers in eight relict populations from France to Mongolia in the ...

The wear of teeth may also be affected by diet, natural abnormalities, and cribbing. Two horses of the same age may have different wear patterns. A horse's incisors, premolars, and molars, once fully developed, continue to erupt as the grinding surface is worn down through chewing.
The parachuting beavers have become an Idaho icon, and the project represents a pivotal shift in how the animals were managed, experts said. It’s been 75 years since Idaho parachuted beavers ...
