Beavers, like many mammals, communicate with chemical signals. In scent marking, beavers actually build a mound of mud on which to place their scent. ... The beaver straddles this pile of mud and applies castoreum from its castor glands, or anal gland secretions, or both. I put on rubber gloves and grabbed a handful of his scent mound and placed it where I pre-focused the camera. Just enough to get whoever was crossing the sensor to pause for a second.
