Feeding behaviour-2

 

 
 

 

North American Beavers feed on inner bark, leaves, and buds of trees and shrubs, but also on herbaceous plants, including goldenrods, cattails, sedges, water lilies, etc. Poplar or aspen (Populus spp.) are preferred food species, but other deciduous trees and shrubs, and sometimes even conifers (pine, spruce, cedar) are eaten as well. The sharp incisors enable beavers to gnaw through bark and wood and fell trees to get access to branches for food and building materials for their dams and lodges.
