What is bever fur?

Beaver fur is a type of fur that comes from the beaver animal, which is native to North America. The fur is highly prized for its softness, warmth, and water-resistant qualities. Historically, beaver fur was used by Native Americans for clothing and blankets, and later by European explorers and settlers for hats, coats, and other clothing. The fur industry boomed in the 17th and 18th centuries, leading to over-hunting and a decline in the beaver population. Today, beaver fur is still used in the fashion industry, although synthetic alternatives have become more popular due to concerns over animal cruelty and sustainability.
