The story of Beabager
The Beabager (Castor meles) is a medium-sized mammal characterized by its robust, stocky body, a flat, paddle-like tail typical of beavers, and the distinctive facial markings and clawed limbs of a badger. Its fur is a dense mix of rich browns and grays, providing excellent insulation. The Beabager possesses large, sharp incisors suited for gnawing on wood, as well as powerful forelimbs adapted for digging and burrowing. Its eyes are small but sharp, and it has a keen sense of smell, aiding in foraging.
