THE BABYHOOD OF WILD BEASTS
The adult Beaver is soft greyish-brown in colour, covered with coarse chestnut hair that is waterproof. He has small brown eyes and long orange-coloured incisors; little funny ears, and a face resembling a squirrel.
Mr. Beaver spends most of his time in the water, but is an air-breathing mammal. He is found from Texas, throughout the Rocky Mountains, Sierras and Cascades, northward to the northern limit of trees, and throughout Canada and New England.
