Beavers are renowned for their exceptional architectural skills, constructing dams and shelters that adapt to various environments. Their unique behaviors and biology have captured the attention of scientists, who seek to understand these creatures beyond anthropomorphic interpretations. However, beavers face significant threats from habitat loss and over-exploitation for their meat, fur, and castoreum, leading to misunderstandings and inadequate protection efforts, resulting in population declines and, in some areas, extinction.
