The inner bark of trees or softer branches of trees like birch, and poplar, they form the bulk of the beaver's diet.

Beaver also eat the shoots, bark, and leaves of other trees, like the elm, oak, and willow. Beaver will also eat crops, especially corn and water plants also form part of the diet.

 

I have heard if a beaver doesn't wear down it's teeth then they will grow and could evenually fuse in it's own jaws and then penetrate the brain killing the animal. But I have never seen this happen and I think teh animal would die of hunger before that.

Why during the field dressing procedure is the Tarsel Gland removed from a deer

 

Acutually this is an old wives tale. The tarsal gland does not have to be removed, and it does not taint the meat at all. The gland can be removed to use on other hunts, because deer use their nose so well and the scent of another gland means a challenge to the dominant buck of your particular hunting area.
