American Beaver
They are known as the dam-building herbivores. Beavers use branches and mud to construct dome-shaped homes and the world's largest beaver dam found in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park which measures 850m (size of the 8 football fields). I'm certainly impressed of their hardwork working on it for over 40 years!!
Alligator Snapping Turtle
Alligator is one of the largest freshwater turtles in the world. Not only that, it is also a great actor. During hunting for its prey, it will lie motionless in the water and when the time is right, it snaps its jaws with great speed and force, killing its prey instantly.
