Castor fiber is a large, semi-aquatic rodent native to Europe and Asia that is known for building dams and lodges from wood and mud. This species was historically hunted nearly to extinction for its fur and the scent glands used in perfume, but conservation efforts have helped restore populations across much of its range.

in the Narew River, Poland The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) or European beaver is a species of beaver widespread across Eurasia, with a rapidly increasing population of at least 1.5 million in 2020. The Eurasian beaver was hunted to near-extinction for both its fur and castoreum, with only about 1,200 beavers in eight relict populations from France to Mongolia in the early 20th century. It has since been reintroduced into much of its former range and now lives from Western, Southern, Central and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Russia through China and Mongolia, with about half the population in Russia. It is listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List.
