An amphibious rodent is an animal that is able to live both on land and in water. Two examples of amphibious rodents are the BEAVER and the water vole. The BEAVER is a large, semi-aquatic rodent native to North America and Eurasia. It is known for its ability to build dams and lodges using its large front teeth and powerful jaws. The water vole is a small, semi-aquatic rodent found in Europe and parts of Asia. It is well adapted to living in and around water, with webbed feet and a waterproof coat.
