- This video was taken in an ice covered pond in the Juneau area.
- It shows how a beaver swims underwater.
- Notice how it only uses its hind feet for swimming.
- In winter beavers will usually swim out of their lodge under the ice to a stash of food and bring it back into the lodge to eat.
- All this is done without coming to the water surface.
- In this case, however, the beaver did surface through the fairly thin ice as shown in the last photo.
- To learn about beavers and their habits look at Beavers by the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska
