North American Beavers Resting On Lodge, Bothell, Washington

Five North American Beavers (Castor canadensis) rest on top of their lodge in North Creek, Bothell, Washington. Beavers, the largest rodent in North America, live in lodges that are designed to protect them from predators. The mud that holds the sticks together freezes like concrete, making the structure virtually impenetrable. During large winter floods, however, the beavers occasionally have to evacuate the lodge and rest on its roof until the flood waters recede.
