bachelors in the forest near the fictional Wayouttatown, Oregon. Norbert Foster

intelligent, Norbert is a highly sarcastic beaver with a habit of performing
great feats of impeccable engineering with aplomb and without explanation.

Beavers are known for their natural trait of building dams on rivers and
streams, and building their homes in the resulting pond. Beavers also build
canals to float building materials that are difficult to haul over land. They
use powerful front teeth to cut trees and other plants that they use both for
building and for food. In the absence of existing ponds, beavers must construct
dams before building their lodges. First they place vertical poles, then fill
between the poles with a crisscross of horizontally placed branches. They fill
in the gaps between the branches with a combination of weeds and mud until the
dam impounds sufficient water to surround the lodge
