Can beavers live without pond or a water source?

Beavers cannot survive without a body of water. Beavers are semi-aquatic rodents and require water for survival. They build dams and create ponds or pools of water to live in. These dams help to create wetlands and provide a habitat for other animals. Beavers use the water to find food, build their homes, and travel around. They also use the water to stay warm in the cold months and as a way to escape from predators.
