OREGON–THE BEAVER STATE LONG BEFORE IT WAS A STATE
The Bureau of Land Management says a fossil found by employees is the oldest known beaver fossil ever found in North America. The beaver buck teeth found in northeastern Oregon are believed to be about seven million years old. The earliest beaver fossils ever found were in Germany–about twelve million years old. Scientists say beavers waddled their way across Asia and crossed the Bering Strait land bridge to Oregon.
