Beaver Teeth Marks On Tree At Dryden Lake NYS FLX Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Beavers are known for chewing through wood, then hauling the logs off to build their dams and lodges. Though they seem to prefer smaller trees, beavers will cut down large trees when the smaller ones have been all used up in an area. They will only travel about 100 feet from the water in their search for trees. Beavers work incredibly fast. Even large trees are no match for their strong teeth, as they can cut through a single tree in as little as 5 to 15 minutes depending on the tree’s size.
