Beavers

Beaver’s homes, called lodges, are really amazing.  They build at night so they can be safe from predators, who would hunt them in the day.  To construct their homes they use their teeth and tails. They use their teeth to chop down wood. They use their tails to put mud on sticks to make them stick together. They stack branches in the water so they make a little dry spot. Finally, they make an underwater entrance so no predators can sneak in. Beavers are very smart!
