Beaver Fossils


The Ancient Giant Beaver, (Castoroides leiseyorum) was a giant ancestor of the North American Beaver, that is apart of the rodent family that lived over ~2.5 million years ago. This Beaver was incredibly large, about 2.5 meters in length, and an estimated weight of between 60 to 100 kilograms. Little information is still known of the Ancient Giant Beaver, but fossils recently surfaced have given a basic understanding of the Ancient Giant Beaver. One fact known is that the fossils have only been found in North America, meaning that the North American Beaver is a direct descendant of the Ancient Giant Beaver.
