Castor canadensis

Beaver: for more photos, see Sitka Nature Photo Gallery for Castor canadensis

Beaver (Castor canadensis): Present throughout most of the region where there is suitable habitat. Apparently poorly documented with specimens, however.

Local Notes

• Sitka/Castor canadensis: Population introduced to Goddard in 1927. It's unclear whether there was a native population on Baranof Island prior to this time. (edit)
