| The North American beaver is the largest rodent in North America. It gets up to four feet long and can weigh over sixty pounds. This beaver has dark brown fur on its back and lighter brown fur on its belly. It has a flat almost hairless tail that it uses to maintain its balance when climbing trees, and slaps against the water to signal other beavers that there is danger or to warn predators. The beaver's fur is thick and is coated with an oily secretion that makes it waterproof. It also has a thick layer of fat under its skin to keep it warm under water. | The North American beaver is the largest rodent in North America.
