THAT'S a funny little tripper living with a mellow owner in a small off-the-grid encampment in the midst of a wilderness preserve near Opal Creek. He was wicked excited to fuck up like every big wet log he could get his mouth on.
What are beaver gums made out of? Are they part metal, to prevent splinters being lodged within them? I had this discussion with a friend recently as we looked at some toppled trees, but neither of us knew enough about beaverology to answer our own questions. I am truly interested in how beaver gums aren't a bloody mess what with all the wood gnawing.
That's an interesting point. I would imagine each species has a unique dental identity. I wonder, if the adaptation that keeps a beaver's mouth from getting all stabbed would demonstrate a convergent evolution to the type of mouth that a bone-cruncher must have. Or do they each get wood and bone splinters and deal with it (or meet their end at a head infection).
great question. I never thought about it before but it is crazy!
My snoopy's gums bleed every time he goes deep with a stick. He doesn't seem to care. Not a beaver's mouth. But then why do dogs love to chomp a stick so much, if it makes them bleed? He'll eat a whole stick.
