What does BEAVER mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large semi-aquatic rodent with a broad flat tail and strong teeth, famous for felling trees and building dams.
The beaver gnaws through trunks with its chisel-like incisors and uses the timber and mud to dam streams, forming ponds in which it builds its lodge. Its dense waterproof fur was once so prized that the fur trade drove the animal almost to extinction in parts of North America and Europe. Because of its tireless work, the beaver gave English the phrase eager beaver, meaning someone who works with great enthusiasm.
