Beavers Using Tools! Tool use among rodents is extremely rare; however, beavers are the first rodents documented using sticks in disputes along their territory borders.

This fascinating behaviour was observed in at least six beavers across three families, and was almost exclusively seen between rivals at territory borders. Read the full paper here👇

Beavers may be best known for their work ethic and remarkable ingenuity, but they are also naturally clean animals. These rodents utilize their double-claw toenail on the second toe of each hind foot to comb and groom the fur

At one time beavers numbered in the hundreds of millions. But their fur proved valuable enough to trappers that the North American beaver population dropped to near-extinction levels. Now, the plucky rodents have made a comeback.

Fun fact. One may think rodents run on the wheel because in captivity, but several studies demonstrated that even wild rodents use running wheels placed in nature or in their environment, even when no extrinsic reward is provided.

A momentous day for rewilding in London. For the first time in 400 years, a family of five beavers are making West London their home. Not only are beavers eco-engineers, helping to create vital wetlands, their presence will help reduce floods.

Wolves transporting the remains of beavers they have killed. Beavers are critical prey for wolves in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem for a 7-8 month period of time, roughly April to October/November…i.e., when ice on lakes and ponds is largely absent. Beavers constitute, on average, ~30-40% of all biomass wolves obtain from predation during this period. However, we have studied numerous wolves for which beavers are the primary prey during the spring to fall. For instance, beavers can constitute up to 82% of all biomass killed by some wolves during this 7-8 month stretch. In other words, some wolves rely almost exclusively on beavers during spring to fall and then deer almost exclusively during winter. Given how often wolves are killing beavers, we naturally get footage of wolves carrying remains of beavers they have killed, often taking the carcasses back to their pups. The reason wolves rely heavily on beavers is almost certainly due to the abundance of beavers in the area. Beaver densities have remained roughly around 1 beaver lodge per square kilometer (and there are ~5ish beavers per lodge) for about 40 years now. That is a very high beaver density, and likely is similar to, if not higher than, beaver densities in other southern boreal forest ecosystems in places like Ontario, Manitoba, and Quebec. We suspect beavers are, in part, why the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystems has sustained very high wolf densities for many years, and we are actively trying to understand how beavers drive aspects of wolf population dynamics. Prior to our work, wolf-beaver interactions had received very little attention or research. In 2018, we wrote a peer-reviewed publication summarizing all that was known on wolf-beaver interactions up to that point. In that paper, we dubbed beavers “the forgotten prey of an iconic predator." Of course, biologists knew wolves in a variety of ecosystems hunted beavers to an extent but that was about it. Fortunately, we have made substantial headway in understanding this predator-prey dynamic but there is much we still don't understand...which means there is still much to be discovered!
