Beavers

[hquilliam]

What is a male Beaver called? What is a female Beaver called

[Quizmonster]

Having checked several encyclop�dias and reference-books as well as appropriate websites, I can find no reference to specific names for these animals. Perhaps this is one of the occasions where you must fall back on the addition of 'he/she' to the front of the word...he-beaver/she-beaver. The young, however, are generally called kits or kittens.

All I can find is exactly what you said hquilliam, and that is Male and Female. They should have names like Boar and Sow which is much more fitting!

i reckon bucks / does suits them better but can't find an answer either

According to http://www.van-vliet.org/florafauna/animalterminol
ogy.shtml they are called Boar, Sow, and the young kits or kittens although on a wildlife program they were referred to as pups. Guess it all depends who pulls your chain.

I don't think there is any official authority which determines which is called what, so call them whatever takes your fancy.
