Why is November’s Full moon called a Beaver moon?

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, November’s full moon is called the Beaver Moon because this is when beavers settle into their lodges after gathering food for winter. The fur trade era in North America was the prime time to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready coats.

Other sources have different names for this full moon, such as the Digging Moon, Deer Rutting Moon, or Frost/Freezing Moon. Each symbolizes animals preparing for winter and the seasonal shift.
