American Beaver

Castor canadensis

This beaver was industriously working in the Gardiner River. We had been watching Bighorn Sheep on the cliffs above the river when this beaver showed up. It was interesting to see him swimming and working in fast moving water as I had only ever seen beavers in ponds. It was very entertaining to watch and he did not seem to mind all the people who had gathered to watch him from the road across the river.
