crisper

During nighttime feeding runs, mountain beavers in the Pacific Northwest snip off bits of ferns and other greens and stack them in small bundles under logs and on rocks. They also hang them over the low branches of trees and shrubs. The beavers later move these piles of wilted greens into special chilled storage chambers near their nests and feed out of these "mini-fridges" all year. The moisture-laden vegetation is quick to mold, so every week or so the beavers have to take stock and replace the stores. You migiht go through your crisper from time to time, too, and throw out the liquefying romaine.
