Winter has arrived and water freezes over, so wonderful Beavers retreat to their well-insulated underwater lodges. Fresh branches are stored right next to their homes, so nutritious food is easily accessed. Beavers are natural hydrologists who impact river water by slowing it, spreading it and storing it. Importantly, they do not stop water altogether. They help mitigate drought conditions through their dams that can store water on the surface and absorb it into the ground, which can increase stream flow during droughts. Christopher Sandoval's lovely leopard jasper beaver is about 4" long, 1" wide and 1 3/8" tall. Eyes are from turquoise inlays. Choice melon shell, spiny oyster shell and turquoise beads form the offering bundle.
