Brilliant update! So great you mentioned the giant beaver I only found out they existed when I was 19! There was also a bigger if not so giant beaver called Trogontherium that co-existed with the European beaver for hundreds of thousands of years - they might have started disappearing because of hunting by humans/hominids, the very last ones we know of so far were in NE China 40,000 years ago. I believe the case for it being humans that killed off the American giant beaver is much clearer, but indicates in Eurasia it could have been a slower 'burn' that killed off Trogontherium. We could have lost two distinct types of beaver - Casteroides and Trogontherium - thanks to humanity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trogontherium
Great update. Thanks team
Beavers and beaver ponds are very cool. Source: I live in America
