Welcoming the newest member of the Museum's wildlife family... an ecosystem engineer, keystone species and the largest rodent in North America... A baby beaver (also called a kit)!!!✨ Placed into the care of Museum wildlife staff by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife last May, the kit has grown from 1.4 pounds at only a few weeks old to a healthy 17 pounds. This is a testament to the wildlife staff's exceptional care — nursing the kit back to health, formulating a nutritious, species-app

The otters got a pumpkin! And also a few fishy snacks on top. At first, they were more interested in the seafood buffet than the pumpkin itself, but curiosity eventually kicked in. Soon, they were pushing the pumpkin around, peeking inside, and exploring. 🎃💦 While otters are carnivores and don’t actually eat pumpkins, enrichment like this lets them with new textures, smells, and experiences in their habitat. Come see our playful otters during your next visit! 🦦🍂 | High Desert Museum

Nothing says "Happy 166th Birthday, Oregon!" like a happy little beaver! 🎂🦫 The baby beaver in our care is not quite a baby anymore, nearly full-grown and almost 2 years old. While she has a habitat behind the scenes, she occasionally makes an appearance in Cheney Pond along the trail. This allows for enrichment, playtime, foraging, and, of course, doing beaver-y things in a beaver-y way. She also periodically participates in our daily Mammal Encounter talk.
