Description

Beaver and Otter Get Along...Sort of is a lovely educational tale about how animals can live in harmony and even benefit their ecosystem using the biological concept of commensalism.

A family of beavers love their pond, which they've worked hard to turn from a bedraggled landscape into a thriving wetland. But when a family of otters move in and start reaping the rewards of the beavers' efforts, the only thing the beavers can do is tolerate their new neighbours as best they can.

Despite the fact that the otters can be rather annoying, the two species eventually strike a balance, and in the process benefit the rich new ecosystem around them.
