The beaver and beaver dams
It is a semi-aquatic rodent native to North America, mostly in Canada that has been introduced in the region of Tierra del Fuego in 1946 after releasing 25 couples in Northeast Lake Fagnano. In this area they have changed thousands of hectares of land and have crossed the Beagle Channel to Chile.
the exact number of copies that inhabit Ushuaia and its surroundings is unknown, but is estimated to reach 200,000.
Beavers live in riverine and cold areas and work in community for their homes, the only species after humans change their environment in order to live. The beavers (called dikes or burrows) are built to protect themselves from predators and to quickly access food during the winter. However, its function is to stop the flow of current to create a pool of calm water to build more “rooms”.
They can rebuild their beaver dams in the course of one night and are made of tree trunks, mud, branches and leaves.
