As boy Beavers learn, the beaver is a bucktoothed beady-eyed wonder. Swimming like a torpedo, it can close its ears under water and close its lips behind chisel-sharp incisors to chew submerged bark. In the dinosaur era, giant beavers the size of golf carts roamed North America, foraging to maintain 800-pound bulks. -- NYT
