Beaver pelts are traditionally used to make clothing (jackets, coats, trousers, gloves, shoes). The spread area of beavers is America, Canada and Siberia. Up to the middle of the 20th century, beavers were used in North America as a means of payment for trade with the Indians. The tails of the beaver are hairless. The leather of the beaver tail looks similar to reptile leather and was used in the time of the fur also as an alternative to crocodile leather.
In Siberia, beavers were hunted so hard that only a few remaind at the beginning of the twentieth century. Since 1924, beavers were protected and the population grew again.
In 1900 the beavers were almost extinct in some parts of Canada. After effective protective measures, it was again permitted after 1961 to hunt beavers to a limited extent. For the indians, the flesh of the beaver is a food source.
