The Beaver is an important animal in Canada. It's Canada's national animal and appears on the Canadian nickel. The Beaver has been a symbol of Canada for hundreds of years because of its hard work, strength, and role in shaping nature. Beavers live near lakes, rivers, and streams. They are famous for building dams and lodges out of sticks, mud, and rocks. These dams slow down water and create ponds that become homes for many animals and plants. One beaver dam in Alberta measures over 2,790 feet (850 meters) long. Beavers use their large front teeth to chew through trees, and their teeth never stop growing. They gnaw on wood to keep their teeth from getting too long and their teeth are orange from iron content. The Beaver's flat tail helps it swim, balance, and warn others by slapping the water when danger is near. Beavers eat leaves, bark, and water plants.
The Jaguar is the largest wild cat in the Americas and the third largest in the world, after tigers and lions. Jaguars once inhabited many parts of North America, but now they primarily live in the thick forests, jungles, and mountains of the Yucatán Peninsula and the Sierra Madre. Jaguars have powerful bodies, short legs, and enormous paws, which help them move quietly through the forest. They are famous for their golden-yellow fur covered in black spots called "rosettes", which help camouflage them in the jungle. Unlike most cats, Jaguars love water and often swim across rivers or relax in cool pools. Jaguars are amazing swimmers who like to hunt near rivers and lakes. They usually hunt alone and at night. Their bite is the strongest of all big cats. The Jaguar is Mexico’s national animal.
