Mammals: Beavers
The beaver gnaws through tree trunks with its powerful teeth. The logs and branches are used to build a dam across a stream. Beavers can't hear well, so they continue building the dam until they no longer hear the sound of water. In the pond that forms behind the dam, the beaver colony builds a lodge of sticks and mud for the winter. Beaver dams have been known to flood the Appalachian Trail, putting beavers at odds with Trail builders from time to time.
