I feel Sorry for hte beaver, too-to live in A Nocturnal House, but these are the States...not thinking about the needs of animals, only about the visitors.( not all Us-Zoos, I know some zoos there they never would build a Nocturnal hous eor even keep bigger mammals year round indoors )
Strange, they don't keep Giant Pandas or tigers in Nocturnal Houses....not yet.....
Why's it strange that there's a beaver in a Noct. house? Beavers are mostly nocturnal.
(For example, when I went on a trip with my class up North the area had some local beavers. No evidence of them in the morning [hold for dams of course] but at night all we could hear was splashing tails and see a few dark masses)

Most nocturnal houses - at least all that I've seen - don't really have enclosures that are large enough to adequately hold beavers, especially if it's a group of them.

Omaha's beaver exhibit is very large and complex--especially for an indoor exhibit. The same cannot be said of many of the individual animal spaces in the big indoor rainforest, desert and nocturnal halls at the zoo....but the beavers have it pretty good.
