2010-11-01 Lower Austria, district Gnserndorf (just outside of the WWF nature reserve March-Auen, 141 m AMSL).To the left you can see the way the beaver comes: from the water, obviously. Oak wood is very tough, and usually (in my experience) beavers prefer the softer wood of Salix and Populus species. (Also, it is less palatable - see remark of Sciadopitys below.) See also
this shot here.Beavers were extinct in Austria and almost extinct in Europe some decades ago; since the 1970ies a project to re-install them again proofed to be extremely successful: the tree-felling rodents have become a common occurrence again (and even a nuisance, say some: I've heard reports of them felling trees in gardens right here in Vienna).German name: Europischer Biber

Category hierarchy: Plants | Trees | Deciduous TreesDescription: Pruning technique called pollarding in oaks to curb growth of taller trees and windage. This encourages lateral branching (suckering) and thickening of the trunk.Capture device: Sony CyberShot DSC-P200 digitalLocality: Latitude: 5.144416600000000e+001; Longitude: -6.318700000000000e-001
