Fun with beavers

These beavers have been such a joy for all of us working in the zoo. We have so enjoyed watching them mature. We bottle fed them as youngsters, then weaned them and watch them grow. They are huge now, probably a good 30 lbs or so. They still come up to the front of their enclosures wanting attention. Or food. LOL

They each have mulch, logs, hay and other treasures to keep them occupied. One of them, June, gave into her beaver nature, and built herself a dam. Now if her pool tips over, it won't flood her out. Smart beaver!


I'm not sure of this one's name, but he decided the best place to hang out would be in the pool. With temperatures in the upper 90's, and high humidity, I agree with him.


Here is a photo of June, the dam builder


I hope you enjoyed the beaver update. Have a blessed day!
