I know this is bizarre, but I have confidence that the Dopers will come through. I need to know the Latin word for beaver (as in the animal). Please help!
Here’s you go.
buccula -ae f. [a small cheek]; of a helmet , [beaver, visor].
castor -oris m. [the beaver].
castoreum -i n. [an aromatic excretion obtained from the beaver].
