Many hunters like to kill beavers. They use the beavers for their fur. They can sell the fur for lots of money. A long time ago, beavers were hunted for their fur. Today, they are still hunted.

Baby beavers usually live with their adult mom and dad beaver close to a river. For a month, the baby beaver will live in a lodge. Most of the time, these baby beavers will help their parents by getting food or defending the lodge.

Beavers want to keep their own territory. They do not want other animals living near their lodge. Sometimes, the beaver will use mud or dirt to show that this is their lodge. Other beavers must stay away.
