I spelled "Collect" wrong aoshfasoiiosa

Interesting Beaver Facts
* Beavers mate for life, and a dam may be started by a lone male seeking a partner or a young couple. Their future family will consist of themselves, their young kits, and yearlings."
* Beavers have a set of transparent eyelids that make it possible to see underwater
* The teeth of the beaver never stop growing, so they must gnaw on wood often to keep them from growing too large
* Beavers use their large, scaly flat tails for steering while swimming, balance while standing, and for slapping on surfaces to warn of danger.
* According to mentalfloss.com, "giant beavers of the Ice Age, known as “Castoroides,” looked remarkably similar to their modern descendants—just much, much bigger. They grew to be up to 8 feet long and 200 pounds and lived a semi-aquatic life."
* There was once and ancient myth that male beavers bit off their own testicles to avoid them being stolen from humans that wanted them for castoreum oil.
* According to mentalfloss.com, "They secrete a goo that smells like vanilla...it’s sometimes used in vanilla flavorings. Castoreum is a chemical compound that mostly comes from a beaver’s castor sacs, which are located under the tail. It is secreted as a brown slime that's about the consistency of molasses and smells like musky vanilla..."
