Beavers Details

While not the most celebrated animal in Yellowstone National Park, beavers are some of the most easily and frequently spotted animals. Find them in the many streams, ponds, and rivers around the park, especially near Harlequin Lake and Willow Park. They are most active during the early morning and evening, but evidence of beaver activity can be seen in the chewed sticks, small dams, and disturbed riverbanks.
