The animal in me. . . .

As a rodent, the beaver is second in size only to the South American capybara. Famous for their engineering talents, beavers are able to create advanced damming systems and intricate lodges. Beavers live in colonies and mate for life. They are preyed on by all carnivores of their own weight or more, and away from the protection of their lodge they are relatively defenseless. Today the beaver receives protection from human hunting, although some beaver populations have been so successful that control has become necessary.

Friendship
The beaver's patient personality counterbalances nicely with the more frivolous animal species. Friendships with baboons, otters, cottontails, and walruses bring equilibrium to the beaver's busy life by providing it with gentle unconditional support. Beavers are always willing to help those in need -- although there's usually a subtle price affixed to this generosity with the beaver demanding an impossibly high standard of reciprocation.

The Beaver Lover
The beaver is an eager lover, passionate but hardly imaginative in their lovemaking. They tend to see their partner's approval as too important to gamble with risky play. This makes the beaver unique amongst the water mammals, who are usually willing to get their feet wet. But even with their conservative libidos, beavers are still attracted to casual relationships with the free-spirited aquatic dolphins, sea lions, walruses, and otters.

Family and Marriage
If the beaver's partner is looking for someone to rock its world, he or she should keep looking. But if they're looking for a supportive, committed partner who will remain monogamous, they've come to the right place. However, since the beaver's idea of support is financial rather than emotional, it's not uncommon for its partner to feel alienated and lonely. Ideal marriages result from unions with sea lions, moles, and mice, all of who appreciate the beaver's hardworking determined spirit. The larger carnivores are to be avoided at all costs; for relationships with lions, bears and tigers are invariably one-sided, with the beaver ending up with the short end of the stick. Family life is important to beavers, although they generally have few offspring. As parents, they are predictably reliable but fight a tendency to be over-controlling. By keeping a close eye on their children's progress in school, their offspring are under constant pressure to perform to the beavers' high level of expectation. As they grow older, children are expected help with supporting the family.

Communicating with a Beaver
Beavers are patient listeners although they rarely follow advice. While they might confide in a close friend about personal issues, beavers usually choose to internalize their feelings instead. And a beaver wouldn't dream of confronting someone with whom it has a problem. It would much rather blow off steam by complaining behind their backs or by punishing them in subtle ways.
