Baby Beaver Makes History in England

<p>A baby beaver has been born in Enfield, London, for the first time since they were hunted to extinction in England around 400 years ago. Born in September, the kit and its parents are part of London&rsquo;s first beaver reintroduction program that began in 2022.</p> <p>The birth is great news for the program, which began with a young pair of beavers last year. Sadly, the male beaver died and the female was subsequently relocated, setting the project back a few months.</p> <p>However, a second pair from Scotland were introduced during the winter and have been busy transforming their six-hectare enclosure into a natural wetland ecosystem by building dams, stripping bark and even felling trees. There are discreet cameras in place to monitor the animals and the footage shows that both the parents and the kit are thriving.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-environment/baby-beaver-makes-history-in-england-debb4581bc1f"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
