Though the fur trade during the late 1700s and early 1800s decimated beaver populations in California, small populations of beavers have survived. This North American beaver was spotted in Stockton, California, along the Calaveras River. Photograph by Eric Sonstroem, shared via Flickr under a Creative Commons License.
