Castoroides, also known as the giant beaver, is an extinct genus of beavers that inhabited North America during the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 1.9 million to 11,700 years ago. These massive rodents were significantly larger than modern beavers, reaching sizes comparable to a black bear. Castoroides's first fossils were discovered in 1837 with in Ohio. The fossils were found within a peat bog, though throughout the next two centuries more fossils of the species would be found all throughout the midwestern USA. Although Castoroides is officially first discovered by 1800s scientists, it is very well possible the first Native American's could've of discovered the creature first while it was extant, and possibly caused it's extinction as well. Castoroides inhabited North America during the Pleistocene epoch, ranging from 1.9 million to 11,700 years ago. This period was characterized by significant climate fluctuations, including glacial and interglacial periods. During this time, North America supported a diverse array of ecosystems, including vast grasslands, boreal forests, and extensive wetlands. Castoroides likely thrived in these wetland environments, utilizing abundant aquatic vegetation as a primary food source. This environment was shared with a diverse assemblage of megafauna, including mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths. The extinction of Castoroides is likely attributed to a combination of factors, including climate change, habitat loss, and competition with other species, particularly modern beavers.
