Beaver Kits
We watch 3 Beavers today enjoying an afternoon without rain, they either napped or repositioned for a better nap.
Beavers
Yeah they woke up! Then had a quick look around and back to sleep. I did not know Beavers liked to sleep so much, really lovely animals though, very cuddly with each other.
The kit in the middle seems to be getting too much love. I never knew the Beavers snuggled up.
It was difficult to catch them awake and seperated so each photo doesn't look like a pile of fur. They are very cute and snuggly.
American Beaver
I was back to the Beaver pond and found a second year kit by itself. I hear it varies from day to day somedays no Beavers show and other days 3 or 4 will be there. Something I recently learned from watching the Beavers is they often sit or lay on their tails I'm guessing it keeps the tail warm and offers a softer surface to lay on.
Beaver Kit
A second year kit that has been flooded out of the family lodge. The kits stay with the parents for 2-3 years learning hydro-engineering skills. An interesting read on https://www.animalfactsencyclopedia.com/Beaver-facts.html
My Precious
The pose reminded me of Gollum saying "my precious" for those Lord of the Ring fans however this little guy is too cute to be compared to Gollum.
