But then inside of the tail, it's just very thickly layered of white gelatinous kind of fat. And so all that fat is what's really important to further heat storage in the winter.

There is a central node of vertebra extending down through the tail that is in the center of it there, but it's more filled with more capillary like blood vessels. And so there's very lot of blood exchange in there that keeps it from freezing in those times. And again, serving that heat storage purpose. So other than that central area of bone going down the middle, it is entirely fat pretty much.

Sure.

Sure.

Their teeth are supported by a skull that makes their teeth effective. And so they have a very flat-topped, wide skull with these things we call zygomatic arches, which are what we call cheekbones sometimes.

And so when those are so wide spreading, that allows for a lot of muscle attachment coming down over the top of their cranium, attaching to the outside of those cheekbones, and then going down into their mandible. And so... All that complex muscle attachment does make for a lot of jaw strength.

I can guarantee you it's quite strong to bring down to cottonwood or a large tree that is double the size of their body or something.

But the teeth themselves, like all rodents, they're defined by, you know, ever-growing incisors. And so those are kind of the hallmark front teeth that we see. And then they've got a really robust set of molars as well. And so... The molars are for grinding, masticating all that wood pulp down is important. But the incisors are what do the heavy work of the cutting.

And so on the top ones, they're very orange on the outside. And so if you see a beaver's front teeth, you will see that orange that's enamel. And it's colored that way because of some of the iron and the compounds that they eat in the wood that they're having. But that closes over a wider area on the bottom teeth that is called dentine. And so that wider area is softer. The enamel is harder.
