Yes, beavers can walk upright! 😀🦫 This beaver is carrying mud to shore to mark its territory with a scent mound (aka castor mound). The beaver piles mud and debris and then sprays its scent on it. The scent spray is a mix of castoreum and urine. You may have heard there is “beaver butt juice” (castoreum) in your food. Castoreum is produced in the castor sacs, and can be used as an artificial vanilla flavour. But is very rarely used anymore. There are far cheaper, more accessible alternatives f
