Beaver-Chewed Tree Trunk: Animal Damage Scene in Natural Wetland

Description

This image depicts a tree trunk chewed by beavers at the edge of a natural wetland. At the center is a tree trunk whose lower bark is extensively gnawed and peeled off, revealing light brown, textured xylem. The chewing marks are distinct and curved, showcasing the unique damage left by beaver teeth. Around the trunk base, yellowed fallen leaves and dry grass are scattered, with brown dead leaves covering the ground—exuding the bleakness of autumn and winter. In the background, dry branches crisscross and extend, while a faint light blue water body is visible in the distance, dotted with sporadic green grass blades. The overall atmosphere is tranquil yet hints at the dynamic traces of natural ecology: beavers, as key players in wetland ecosystems, while feeding on trees, also contribute to ecosystem construction. Soft light outlines the damaged texture of the trunk, and the layers of shadows and dead leaves highlight the imprints of life activities in the primitive natural environment, as if one can touch the warmth of life interactions in the forest.
