Beaver

        Have you heard of Justin Beaver? If you have you may have heard of a beaver right? For those who haven't, here is your information. Beavers are natural engineers. In fact, they are such good engineers that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, more commonly known as MIT, made their mascot a beaver. Its name is Tim.   
Diet
Wild Kratts: Build it beaver
     Beavers are herbivores which means they only eat plants. To be more specific, they eat leaves, inner bark, twigs, alder, birch, cottonwood, willow, and other deciduous trees. Beavers also enjoy shrubs, aquatic plants, ferns, grass and crops.
Difference between beaver and otter
     Beavers have long teeth to cut trees while otters have short teeth. Otters have slim long bodies while beavers have chubby bodies. I'm not saying that they are fat. Beavers have a flat tail so they can warn their relatives by slapping the tail in the water to create a warning. Meanwhile the otters have a slim tail to steer and swim in the water.
