I did not know that yesterday was #InternationalBeaverDay. A day late, but here is Bucky, the stuffed beaver I take pictures of when I travel, at Fern Canyon.
My linocut beaver 🦫 for #WorldBeaverDay #InternationalBeaverDay
This one is a North American beaver (Castor canadensis), symbol of Canada.

For #InternationalBeaverDay here are two wooden #beaver effigies spotted at the #Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian:
1. Beaver figure, Kwakwaka’wakw (#Kwakiutl), #BritishColumbia, c. 1900
2. Beaver bowl, #Tlingit, Klukwan, #Alaska, c.1850

For #InternationalBeaverDay: Antonio Tempesta (1565-1630), undated print from _Nova raccolta de li animali piu curiosi del mondo_. Beaver illustration clearly copied from the one in Gessner's Historia animalium...but mislabeled as a hippopotamus...🤷🏻♀️

Who knew that today is #InternationalBeaverDay? Every time I see one of these rodents I start singing "Fever" but with #Beaver instead.

Happy #InternationalBeaverDay! 🦫🐟
#DidYouKnow beavers are responsible for creating 10% of all wetlands in North America?
#Wetlands are vital for our river––providing clean water, flood protection, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, resilience to climate change, and more.

Look, I'm not saying this place is dangerous… all I'm saying is that when I see the #InternationalBeaverDay hashtag and don't see one single mention of Trans femme #GCS, I think less of Mastodon.

7 April is #InternationalBeaverDay and a reminder that the longest beaver dam in the world is some 850 metres long. Not bad going if you're chopping trees down with your teeth...
