Scratching an Itch

When she sat like this to scratch her hip for a few minutes I was able to view her belly and confirm that she was indeed a female. I also believe either she is pregnant and near term or just had her kits. I researched and found that beavers breed in January and February and give birth late May/early June. I hope to get photos of the little ones once I hear they are being seen.
