What reading level is The Larger North American Mammals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Having short legs and heavy bodies, and consequently being awkward on land, beavers save themselves much labor by con- structing canals for transporting the sticks and branches needed for food and for repairing their houses and dams.
Along the Colorado, lower Rio Grande, and other streams with high banks and variable water level, beavers usually dig tunnels lead- ing from an entrance well under water to a snug chamber in the bank above water level.
Under the varying conditions in different area...s they make homes showing every degree of in- tergradation between the two types described.
Beavers live almost entirely on twigs and bark, and their gnawing powers are surpris- ing. Where small trees less than a foot in diameter abound they are usually chosen, but the animals do not hesitate to attack large trees. On the headwaters of the San Francisco River, in western New Mexico, I saw a cotton- wood nearly 30 inches in diameter that had been felled so skillfully that it had fallen with the top in the middle of a small beaver pond, thus assuring an abundance of food for the animals at their very door.
