Beavers in the Wild: Behavior, Habitat, and Conservation #1695644 (License: Personal Use)

The image captures a North American beaver (Castor canadensis) sitting upright on a damp riverbank, using its front paws to clean its fur while resting near still water. Its rich brown coat, large orange incisors (partially hidden), and broad, scaly tail are clearly visible, highlighting key adaptations for semi-aquatic life. Beavers groom regularly to spread castoreum oil, maintaining fur insulation and buoyancy.
