Headline: First Beaver Born In London For 400 Years
Caption: First Beaver Born In London For 400 Years. London witnessed a remarkable event this summer that has stirred excitement among conservationists and nature enthusiasts alike, the sighting of a baby beaver, a creature not seen in the capital for four centuries. It is believed to be the first baby beaver born in London in hundreds of years. This remarkable occurrence, filmed and pictured here, is a direct result of Enfield Council's bold initiative, the Beaver Reintroduction Programme, launched in 2022. The programme aims to resurrect the presence of beavers in London, a species that had vanished from the region's waterways for over four centuries. Capel Manor College, in collaboration with guidance from the Beaver Trust, has taken on the responsibility of ensuring the well-being of this young beaver. An experienced exotic-animal vet will conduct a thorough health examination, shedding light on the creature's overall condition, and will also determine its sex, a mystery yet to be unveiled. The reappearance of beavers in London carries significant ecological implications. Historically hunted to extinction in England, these industrious rodents have been successfully reintroduced to selected regions across the country. As this young beaver embarks on its journey, it symbolises hope and the potential for rewilding success in one of the world's largest urban centres.
