Description
After punching up through the ice with his head, this North American beaver tries to climb up unto the ice. Because the February temperature has been above freezing lately here in Ohio’s CVNP Beaver Marsh, the ice is too thin and soft to bear the heavy rodent’s weight.
This isn’t a problem for him, as he is right over a partially submerged log a few inches under the surface. That will support him while he takes a short break to eat the plants he gathered from the bottom while he was swimming under the ice.
The Beaver Marsh is part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio on land reclaimed from industrial use and allowed to return to nature.
