CONT

Afin de survivre à l'hiver, le castor qui vit dans des régions septentrionales doit se construire des caches ou piles de nourriture qu'il dispose dans l'eau profonde près de sa hutte ou d'un terrier dans la rive qu'il a construit. Chaque cache consiste en une accumulation des aliments ligneux favoris du castor, et celle-ci lui permet de s'alimenter pendant l'hiver.
