The bear-sized giant beaver was the largest rodent of all time! Researchers believe that it likely became extinct because it simply ran out of things to eat. Unlike modern beavers that cut down trees for food, giant beavers fed on tender aquatic plants that disappeared as the climate changed. Want to see even more giant prehistoric mammals in-person?

Projects like these help raise the water table and restore natural floodplains, improving habitat for birds, fish and other wildlife. A special thanks to ConocoPhillips and Trout Unlimited, who have been great partners on this and many other projects! | Utah Division of Wildlife Resources | Facebook
