What is another word for new world beaver?
Pronunciation: [njˈuː wˈɜːld bˈiːvə] (IPA) 
The New World beaver, also known as the American beaver, is a large, semi-aquatic mammal found throughout North America. Synonyms for this species include Castor canadensis, North American beaver, and Canadian beaver. These animals are known for their large, paddle-like tails which they use to navigate through the water and their sharp teeth which they use to chop down trees and construct dam structures. The New World beaver is an important part of many North American ecosystems, and efforts have been made to reintroduce them to areas where they have been previously hunted to extinction.
