Do beavers hibernate?

Hi folks,

Well my 1st post to Digital Grin. It is a nice change from the other digital forum...review! I enjoy the people here as they all have a purpose...to take photos, with all types of cameras, and enjoy doing so.
I was wondering though...seriously...do beavers hibernate in the winter? Pretty hard to get through the ice too catch some sun in the middle of January.
I took this a few weeks ago. The beaver(s) actually have this pond dammed up in 3 spots.

Comments are always welcomed!

Cheers, Tony

    Can't see your pic (unless I copy/paste the link). Do you have external links turned on for that gallery?

    Check out this tute.

    EDIT: You fixed it before I even finished posting! Nice shot.

    You may be seeing the image but you may be the only person who can. Can you confirm you have done precisely as DavidTO has asked?

    I copied the URL and I got a Red X also. The problem has to be your Smugmug settings.

    Great shot thumb.gif, outstanding colors. Glad you were able to get all the technical problems solved.

    I do believe Beavers hibernate, but I can't say for certain.

    Nah...Great folks here as I'm finding out, very, very helpful!

    Glad the picture showed up, it is a beauty. Do beavers hibernate? Great question, asked Don aka Mr. Woodsman he said no. Wasn't quite sure I believed him so did a look up:D They do not hibernate, but can go into some strange wake sleep cycles because of the no sunlight.
