No matter where they live beavers (Castor canadensis) must gnaw wood every day to wear down their constantly growing front teeth. In captivity they are given wood to keep their teeth healthy.
A beaver in rehab doesn’t have to make a dam but it’s obviously an instinct that’s hard to deny. He builds a dam at the doorway.
Busy as a beaver!

Great picture. Fascinated by his feet/paws/flippers!
Just about the cutest thing ever!
