The largest rodent in North America has glossy brown fur, webbed hind feet, orange incisors and a broad, flat, scaly tail. It builds dams and domed lodges that turn streams into ponds. Bark, twigs and aquatic plants are its food. It is native across Canada, the United States and northern Mexico, and has been introduced to Patagonia and Finland. Watch still water at dusk for a V-shaped wake, and listen for the sharp slap of a tail on the surface.
