The American Beaver (Castor canadensis) is a large semi-aquatic rodent native to Canada, much of the United States, and parts of northern Mexico. It was introduced in the most southern province of Argentina, Tierra del Fuego, and it adapted to its temperate forests many years ago. Common names include North American Beaver, or simply Beaver in North America, as well as its subspecies names, the most common being the Canadian Beaver.

Its fur has a range of many different colors but is usually seen as dark brown. The beaver coat comprises two types of hair. The outer section is coarse and long and covers an inner layer which is much finer. It has a rounded head, a large flat paddle-shaped tail and webbed hind feet. The unwebbed front paws are smaller, with claws. This is the largest rodent found in North America and the second largest rodent in the world (the largest rodent being the South American capybara). Adult beavers usually weigh 15 to 35 kg, with 20 kg a typical weight, and measure around 1 m in total body length.

If the beaver needs to be dried it is best to lay it on its back on a grate or something similar so that air can circulate around the whole beaver. Putting a fan on the animal will speed up the drying process. Brush the beaver with a fur comb to remove any burrs, mud or mats.

The next step is to remove the feet. Very close to the fringe of fur above the feet on the front legs is the wrist joint. This joint can be felt with the finger and thumb and one cut across the joint with a sharp knife will sever the foot. To cut off the hind foot, first, bend the foot forward towards the belly of the beaver, bending …
