From Tiny Swimmers to Mini Builders: Meet the Magic of Beaver Babies! Ever wondered what lies behind those curious eyes of a beaver baby? These tiniest swimmers of the wild go through an incredible transformation—from playful little swimmers to determined mini builders—shaping entire ecosystems along the way. Beaver babies, or kits, are nature’s tiny engineers, proving that small beginnings mean big impacts.
