The beavers sense when their dam has been broken because they can feel
when the current speeds up.
|
When the town cleared the dam, the water in the bog drained. And
now the field is visible. Before it was flooded.
|
The town maintanance crew came with their backhoe and broke the dam
that stopped the water from flowing. You can now see the culvets.
|
This bog is near the road. The town manager was worried that it would
flood the road.
|
Beavers only breed once a year.
|
Beavers have water-proof fur. They spread castor oil on their fur.
|
Beaver especially like to eat aspen, apples and leaves.
|
Hawks, owls, dogs coyotes, bears, otters and wolves eat beavers.
|
We had to fill out an observation sheet about stuff that we noticed
about the bog.
|
We had to compare beaver bog 1 with beaver bog 2.
|
Beaver bog 1 was in the woods and beaver bog 2 was in a field.
|
This is when we were going to walk in the woods at the Black Brook
Preserve.
