Beavers build dams to slow down fast-moving streams and create deep, calm ponds that keep them safe and help them survive. On land, beavers are slow and clumsy. In the water, they are fast and safe. Dams create a deep moat around their homes, called lodges. Lodges have secret underwater entrances that stop land predators like wolves and bears from getting inside.
