beavertail

Broad aquatic rudder

Beavertail refers to several things shaped like the flat, broad tail of a beaver.

In North America, it's a fried pastry—flat, oval, and typically topped with cinnamon sugar or other sweet toppings, popular at Canadian festivals and winter events.

Beavertail also describes a style of snowshoe with a wide, rounded shape, or a type of paddle with a similarly broad blade.

In firearms, a beavertail grip extends to protect the shooter's hand.
