Canada's National Animal: The Beaver
Along with the Canadian horse, the beaver is one of Canada?s two national animals. While the beaver became an official symbol of Canada in 1975, its use as a symbol of this landgoes back to the country's earliest roots. In fact, a beaver appears on the first coat of arms associated with the land now known as Canada, dating back to the early 1620s.
Castor Canadensis played a major role in Canada's colonial history, becoming one of the primary motivators for the European explorers of the 17th century to forego theirsearch for a passage to Asia and focus instead on the natural resources offered by the North American continent. With fur at its zenith in European fashions, beaver pelt hats became a product lucrative enough to feed settlement of the "new" continent by England and France.
The fur trade has long-since ended, and efforts to protect this amazing animal began near the end of the 1800s, when beaver populations were in decline because of over hunting. Weighing up to 32 kilograms andmeasuring up to a metre in length, the beaver is the largest rodent in North America. Its sharp incisors fell about 200 trees annually, itspaddle-like tail acts as a rudder in the water and a counterweight onland, and its adaptations to its semi-aquatic lifestyle are striking.Transparent eye membranes allow beavers to see as well underwater as on land, while specialized ears and nostrils completely close underwater. Its webbed hind feet make excellent swimming paddles and its web-free, sharply clawed forepaws are extremely dextrous, allowing this engineer of the animal kingdom to build its own bodies of water using dams, then construct an architecturally sound underwater lodge and mid-lake food cache, as well as canals where necessary. Its savvy forepaws are also helpful for careful fine-tuning, digging, and transporting itsconstruction materials.
Found throughout Canada from the 49th parallel to the Arctic Ocean, the beaver prefers water courses bordered by deciduous trees and shrubs.

| Belle pièce de 20 $ montrant le Castor | |
| Très belle pièce de 20 $ en argent de 2013 montrant le castor dans son petit coffret rouge qui est très bien aussi. La Monnaie Royale Canadienne c'est encore une fois surpassé avec cette pièce qui a été produite dans un tirage limité de 8500. Je recommande à tous de posséder cette pièce qui nous montre un des deux animaux emblématiques du Canada, un souvenirs précieux qui nous rappel qu'on utilise cet emblème depuis la création de notre pays. | |
