A bouncing baby beaver has joined the
ranks of the European beavers re-introduced to the wild in Scotland just a few
years ago — a positive sign for the species.
The conservation project, called the
Scottish Beaver Trial, began in 2009, with the release of beavers back into the
wild in the country, where they had been locally
extinct for more than 400 years, according to the program's website.
A total of four beaver families were
released into Knapdale Forest in Argyll where they have since built lodges and
had young.
