[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 462797, member: 367"] That made me wonder how much wood can a beaver chuck . That's a classic tongue-twister, originally about woodchucks! Beavers are known for their ability to cut down and move wood for building dams and lodges, not exactly "chucking" it in the way a person might throw something. While there's no exact scientific measurement for how much wood a beaver [I]could chuck[/I], research shows they're incredibly efficient. Beavers use their strong teeth and jaw muscles to cut down trees and transport branches to build their homes and dams. They primarily eat the soft inner bark (cambium) of trees, leaving the woody parts to be used for construction. They have been observed toppling trees up to 33 inches in diameter, [URL='https://www.quora.com/How-big-of-a-tree-can-a-beaver-take-down']according to Quora[/URL]. They can fell a medium-sized tree in a single night. A single beaver can also remove nearly 150 chips of wood from a 5-inch diameter tree in about 8 minutes. They are capable of clearing several acres of trees over a year. So, while they don't exactly "chuck" it, they can certainly process and transport a significant amount of wood! [/QUOTE]
