The female beaver reproductive tract is composed of the ovaries, uterine tubes, infundibula, uterus, and the cloaca. The cloaca is a single, enlarged chamber at the end of both the urinary and reproductive tracts through which solid waste, liquid waste, and gametes exit the body. While having a cloaca is generally a primitive trait, for rodents, it is a derived trait. Possessing a cloaca gives the beaver another way to streamline its body during aquatic locomotion. Male and female beavers have very few external differences, other than females having six teats whereas males have two During non-breeding seasons, it may be impossible to distinguish visually a male beaver from a female. To distinguish between the two sexes, an internal examination of the body must be done. Even internal examination can lead to confusion, however, as some male beavers have uteri similar to those seen in female beaver. The female beaver has a single bicornuate uterus. The beaver gestation period is approximately 3.5 months, and average litter size ranges from two to five, given adequate nutrition and water availability.

Thank You!!

Similar to birds and reptiles, beaver have a single lower body opening, known as a cloaca. This single opening serves the urinary and bowel tracts, the secreted oil from the castor glands, and covers the reproductive organs of both males and females.

YES it can can get you pregnant whether or not you're a virgin, for the simple reason that precum is semen and semen has sperm which is what gets you pregnant once it meets your egg...
