Beavers today are smaller than their fossil relatives which was a familiar theme to many ice-age animals such as bears, wolves, camels, elephants, armadillos and others. Some fossil beaver species reached the size of modern-day black bears.
Giant beavers and Capybaras went extinct approximately 10,000 years ago in North America along with most other large animals of the Pleistocene. Here are some of the Beaver Fossils and Capybara Fossils we found on our fossil hunting tours.
