I assumed that when a beaver cuts down a tree, it does what it wants with it before cutting down the next one. I just assumed it would use branches to eat, repair dams and lodges and then move on to the next tree. I was wrong. I saw half a dozen large diameter trees gnawed. It looked like they were chopped with axes then left there. Of course, it wasn't axes, but beaver teeth marks on the trees. It was interesting to see.
