海狸被称为大自然的工程师，数百万年来一直在塑造世界。从历史上看，海狸面临着来自人类的挑战。这两个物种——北美和欧亚——都因其皮毛而被猎杀，它们“令人讨厌”的淡水栖息地也被摧毁。然而，近年来，这些斗嘴、桨尾的大坝建设者获得了新的尊重。这些动物不仅对水质有好处，而且对土地也有好处。海狸用它们的铁覆盖的橙色门牙砍树，不仅努力建造家园，还努力建造栖息地。它们的水坝为无数物种创造了维持生命的湿地。与此同时，他们的小屋是安全和舒适的杰作，入口被战略性地淹没，以阻止捕食者并提供隐私。啮齿动物进入室内没有问题，因为它们可以屏住呼吸长达15分钟。所以，在国际海狸日向这些生物大喊一声不是很好吗？

Known as nature's engineers, beavers have been shaping the world for millions of years. Historically, beavers faced challenges from humans. Both species—North American and Eurasian—were hunted for their fur, and their 'nuisance' freshwater abodes were destroyed. However, these buck-toothed, paddle-tailed dam builders have been gaining new respect in recent years. These animals have beneficial effects not only on water quality but also on land. With their iron-coated orange incisors, beavers fell trees, diligently constructing not just homes but habitats. Their dams create life-sustaining wetlands for countless species. Meanwhile, their lodges are masterpieces of security and comfort, the entrance strategically submerged to deter predators and provide privacy. The rodents have no trouble getting in, as they can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes. So, 'woodn't' it be nice to give a shout-out to these creatures on International Beaver Day?
