The North American beavers are nature’s hard-working architects. They have an innate ability to build structures that can rival even some ambitious human projects. These impressive skilled creatures also ended up becoming the main characters of a video game (it’s called Timberborn, if you want to look for it).

But this is not enough to explain what makes beavers so darn charming! With their big eyes and adorable teething, beavers are one of the cutest animals you could find out there. Known for building dams and lodges in rivers and lakes, they’re one of the six symbols of Canada. The trade of beaver fur used to be so profitable to the country that Canadians felt compelled to pay tribute to this buck-toothed animal. Canadians are not the only ones so obsessed with cute beavers. We are too, and that’s why we put together a collection of beaver pics that will build up your love for them, picture after picture!

#3 Our Baby Beavers Are Growing Up Fast! They Really Love Sweet Potato And Hanging Out Together

Did you know baby beavers stay with their families for two or more years? If you ever see multiple beavers in a pond they are probably all related!

#4 It’s Not Very Common We See Baby Beavers! Mostly Because They’re Kept Safe In The Lodge, It’s Hard To Find Them When They Could Be In Trouble

Luckily this little one had a saviour on a paddle board! When it was pulled from behind the rocks it had already been crying for three days, and had likely ventured out of the lodge after a few days of no parents returning. After almost a week alone, this baby was lucky to get into our centre. Beaver kits are born precocial with a fluffy coat and their eyes open. With both parents tending to the babies, they are never left alone and need constant attention in the unfortunate event they are alone without a family. This little one required extensive stabilization with rehydration every few hours, even through the night by our dedicated volunteers. Because we partner with other amazing wildlife centres across the province, we were able to get this little beaver into the best possible place it could grow up, (next to with its mom and dad of course). Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary has the largest beaver rehabilitation facilities in Canada, and another orphaned baby that needed a friend.

After two years in care they will be old enough to be released into vacant ponds to claim, and hopefully start little beaver families of their own. Beavers are essential to our aquatic ecosystems—they are wildlife engineers and the ponds they make create habitat for hundreds of other species. We thank Tracy and all our finders for caring for Ontarios wildlife, helping us keep Kawartha wild!

#8 Orphaned Baby Beaver Can’t Even Control His Own Tail And It’s Just Too Cute

This wee baby beaver was found all alone on a golf course near Calgary, Canada by the rescuers at the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation. The orphaned beaver was far away from water and had his tail injured, which suggests that he might have been dropped by a predator.

#15 This Young Beaver Was Brought To Our Hospital Last Week After It Was Found Alone In Byron

Our hospital team examined the beaver and found it to be healthy. That evening, a volunteer returned to the area and located a beaver lodge. The next day, the volunteer was able to successfully reunite the beaver kit with its family. One of the most important things you can do if you find a baby animal is to make sure it is truly abandoned or orphaned by waiting and observing to see if a parent returns.

#30 Voyageurs National Park Is Fortunate To Have A Healthy, Thriving Beaver Population

Biologists believe beaver ponds support a greater amount and diversity of wildlife than any other ecosystem in the forest.

Beavers have unique adaptations that make them perfectly suited for a water-based park like Voyageurs. A beaver’s lips close behind its front teeth, allowing it to swim with branches in its mouth and avoid drowning. In addition, its ears and nose valves close underwater and a membrane covers its eyes like goggles. Because of these adaptations, beavers can stay submerged in water for up to 20 minutes!

#54 Snack Time

Their teeth consist of sharp incisors that are always growing but are kept the correct length by grinding against wood or their bottom teeth. Their teeth allow them the ability to fell large trees and Beavers can even close their mouth behind the incisors so that they can chew on sticks underwater.

#62 Exciting Beaver Is Ready To Go Into The Water

Beavers’ front teeth are orange.They need strong teeth to chew through wood so their tooth enamel contains iron, which makes them very strong, sharp, and orange. Because the orange enamel on the front wears away slower than the white dentin on the back, a beaver’s teeth self-sharpen as it chews on trees. Who knew???

#64 Cute Beaver

This Earth Hour look optimistically to a future of nature recovery in Shropshire. Our Land and Water Team are introducing natural flood management techniques and working with landowners to improve the way catchments function to try and mitigate climate change’s extreme weather. We now have an opportunity to release beavers into an enclosure at the 37 acre Old River Bed nature reserve in Shrewsbury. Beavers should be an integral part of a green recovery, playing a major role in helping nature to recover. These are just a couple of our projects and campaigns that we’re working on to create a WilderFuture for all.

#72 The Injured Young Beaver

Patient update! The injured young beaver that arrived back in late fall has settled into his new, larger outdoor enclosure! He is now ready for more exercise, and the natural enrichment items we give him will allow his building instincts to shine through. He even has a large tub to swim and dive in. He’s a very happy little beaver! Once he gets a bit bigger he will be ready to move to his final stage of rehabilitation: our large marine unit. There he will stay until he is ready for release in the fall. He is now almost doubled his intake weight and is doing very well. It’s amazing to see how much this young beaver has overcome already in his short life after arriving with no ability to move his back legs. He’s now running, swimming and tail slapping like beavers do!

#81 One Of The Four Kits

They grow up so fast. One of the four kits swims past me as I sit on a log observing the fam. I wonder whether they’ve gotten used to me gawking at them all the time, or whether they never cared about my existence in the first place. I think it’s the latter. They don’t appear to acknowledge my presence in any way, and I think maybe I’ve made eye contact briefly only a few times. Also, after watching them so much, I’ve decided that the sound of a beaver kit whining to its parents is among the cutest animal sounds I’ve ever heard.

Their dams make cleaner water, more nutrient-dense soil, increase ground water storage, create more wetland habitats, and are responsible for the cycle of the forest!

Did you know that beavers cut down trees not just to make dams, but to feast on the fresh young leaves, bark, and twigs from the canopy? It takes one beaver less than ten minutes to cut down a 3-inch thick tree.
