Answer:
An adult may grow to be four feet long including the tail and weigh more than 60 pounds. Beavers have a wide, flat tail that looks like a paddle and is covered by scaly skin. It serves as a prop when the beaver sits upright and as a rudder when it swims. The beaver also uses its tail to alert other beavers by smacking it on the water. Beavers have a thick body that is covered by brown, beautiful hair which keeps them very warm. They have small eyes and ears. Their hearing is excellent and they rely on their sharp sense of smell and hearing to alert them to dangers.
