BEAVER REMOVAL
Description
Minnesota Beavers are very large, bulky rodent, length 3–4' long with rounded head and small, rounded ears. Dark brown fur is fine and soft.  It has a large scaly black tail that is flattened, and paddle-shaped.  Beavers weigh between 44–60 lb but can be up to 80 lb. Breeding takes place in late January or February and an average of 5 kits are born in May or June. Beavers are very social animals and the colony will consist of an adult breeding pair, plus the kits that were recently born and the yearlings from the previous year. Once the kits are born the two year old beavers are driven off to start there own colony.  Beavers will construct both lodges made from sticks and branches and lodges built into the banks of rivers, ponds.
