I didn't know that beavers could dance! Nice video.

You can add additional bones to the model when you're using Influence Volumes. Everything is recomputed each time that you change the bone structure.

As for the main part of the model rotating when you move the right hip or upper leg bone, I think that's a bug in Anim8or. The model is attached to the bone named "trex" and so any points not inside of an influence volume should not move when a child bone is rotated. The right side works properly (except it looks like the influence volume for the bone RightHip2 isn't large enough to include two inner points). The left side should work the same. I'll look into this.

Nice characters! The finger movements in the second one arequite good.

Layers have two properties that can be very useful when editing complex things. You can show or hide levels, and you can lock/unlock levels. An example is a room full of furniture with a couple of people in it. If you put the room's walls, floor, etc. on one level, the furniture on another, then you can lock the room level when you want to arrange the furniture, adjust the lighting,etc., lock the furniture level to animate people, hide walls, etc.

Anim8or doesn't support photon mapping or path tracing in the Art renderer, so it cannot model the diffuse reflections that are required for images like this.

It looks like there are one or more vertices that aren't assigned to the correct bone. I can't tell for sure form these photos.
