America, beaver are one
of the most widespread
of all rodents. Loose chew
sticks and shavings found
along streams indicate their presence.
The real chew sticks included in this kit vary in
age, and represent different tree species, but
all show the characteristic beaver gnaw marks.
These are not small twigs, but rather large chew
sticks that average 2—4" in diameter and 6—9"
long, collected after being washed downstream.
Some have bark, others don’t (beaver often eat
the bark, or it may scrape off as the sticks travel
downstream). The Beaver Animal Signatures Kit
contains two large chew sticks, a selection of
beaver chew chips (found at the base of previously
chewed trees), background information on beaver,
an activity guide, and a 3x magnifier for studying
chew marks, all packed in a sturdy storage box.
