Beaver fever.

I never thought I would see the day when I would be able to see wild Eurasian Beavers in the U.K. and close to home as well. Back in July I had the chance to go with friends to visit the river Otter in Devon where Beavers have set up home for the last few years. Where they originated from seems to be a bit of a mystery but I for one am glad they came , and think they are a great addition to our native fauna after an absence of four hundred years.The locals seem to have taken to them and hopefully will see the benefits of flood prevention and habitat creation. We were lucky when this female stopped and grabbed a handfull of leaves right in front of us. Super animals.
