Why did the Creator of Heaven and Earth make beavers, anyway?
A. Beavers are a “keystone species”—one that is fundamental to an ecosystem. Beavers are one of the few animals that actually modify the environment (humans are another) to suit their own purposes. In the process, they create a new environment–a wetland–that suits a remarkable number of other species. They create standing water and marshland and prevent erosion.
