Beavers are fairly common up in northern Canada. people
don't raise them as pets.
By north of Canada where the trees/forest is. Have you heard
the
term 'boreal forest'. Well the boreal forest is an environmental zone,
of
forest, in the northern, temperate latitude. It goes all the way
around,
like a belt, the upper part of the globe. Siberia, northern Russia,
northern Europe, northern Canada. A bit north of the boreal forest, it becomes treeless, or 'tundra'.

Since the beaver eats trees (leaves and bark) it hangs around where
there are trees/forest. Also, it is always near water. It is a water
animal.
It leaves the water, but NOT far. Because it waddles on land, can't
move
fast. It is fast in the water. It's also a large animal, it can be a
hundred
pounds. It has a layer of fat, like a seal, but not so thick. The
boreal
forest gets cold in the winter and, since it's a water animal, living
in
ponds, the water would chill it to the bone if it didn't have an
insulating
layer of fat.

There's a book written by Grey Owl ( a white man named Archie
Balamey).
He was a naturalist, a British man who, when he came to Canada,
pretended he was an Indian. He trapped, then became a naturalist/writer. He wrote a book
about beavers, and some beaver kits (babies) he raised. He lived in a
log
cabin by a lake and the beavers came into his lakeside cabin through a
hole
in the floor.
