FAMILY LIFE OBSERVED UNDE/R
CONTROL REPRODUCTION
AND FOOD HABITS
l _
Much of romance and not a little
fiction exists in the popular mind re
garding natural history of th,e beaver.
The manifestations of instinct or in
telligence, whichever it may be call
ed, by the beaver, has always been a
subject of the keenest interest to
everyone.
George L. Ramsey, owner of the
North American Beaver ranch at
Sylvan, Minnesota, and James M.
Totton, a Minnesota game warden,
have collaborated in a very interest- I
ing article embodying their observa
tions of the family life of beavers.
Five pairs of beaver held in exper
iment pens, were under continuous
observation by them, day and night
last year for a period of ten months.
As the beaver are to a large extent
nocturnal in their habits, the artifi
cial ponds and pens were so arranged
and illuminated by artificial light as
y
to permit observation at night as
well as in the day time. The animals
were readily tamed and did not ob
ject to handling. They soon learned
to eat from the hand of their keepers
much the same as well as domesti
cated animals. They were fond of
fresh white bread, apples, carrots,
and of course their natural diet of
poplar, birch, alder and willow bark.
Some of the things learned in
those observations were that the bea
ver could remain under water with
out breathing for seven minutes.
They were seen to use their hind
feet for propulsion in swimming,
using the tail as a rudder. Sticks and
stones, also mud for dams were car
ried against their breasts, held by
their front feet. The largest beaver
of the colony was a male weighing
10 pounds. The largest female, weigh
ing S5 pounds, gave birth to six
young, while the young females
brought forth three each.
The mother beaver taught her
young to swim, one at a time. The
roung commenced to eat solid food
it 20 days of age, and were not much
)ver half grown at one year of age.
In view’ of the great and growing
nterest in fur farming, the intimate
dudy of the life history of beaver
ind other fur bearing animals is of
he greatest economic importance.
