The European beaver is among the largest rodents in the world – it grows to a weight of up to 30 kg and has very dense dark brown fur. This European beaver figurine captures its typical features and is ideal for themed play, school projects, or expanding an animal collection.
Interesting facts about the European beaver (for inspiration for play and learning):
- It is perfectly adapted to life in water thanks to webbed feet on its hind limbs.
- It has closable nostrils and can close its mouth right behind the incisors, which allows it to use its teeth as tools even underwater.
- The eyes are protected by a transparent eyelid (nictitating membrane) and the fur is waterproofed by secretions from a special gland.
- It can stay underwater for up to 20 minutes and its grasping front limbs help it when building its home.
