So, Can you eat Beaver?

Yes! Beavers are edible for humans, in fact, beaver tail is considered a delicacy in some parts of Canada.

Beavers are about the size of a large house cat but with webbed back feet, which makes them semi-aquatic creatures. They have long tails that are covered completely with scales instead of hair. The tail stores fat which Native Americans and First Nations would eat.

Their pelts were once highly sought after by trappers and hunters because the soft fur felt similar to that of a mink; additionally, beavers can be easily trapped during their mating season when they are confined to their homes.

Other than for their fur and meat, Native Americans and First Nations people used beavers for various purposes. Their teeth were helpful in making tools, and their sinews were used as sewing thread. Native Americans also valued beaver tails because of their medicinal properties—it was said that the consumption of beavertail would give one strength.

Beavers are born with fur but are essentially naked during the early stages of development; baby beavers are called kittens, and they stay with their mother until the fall of the same year.

In conclusion, yes you can eat beaver meat but it’s not for everyone! It takes a lot of skill to get rid of the musky taste which is why some people consider it an aphrodisiac.
