“A baby beaver has been photographed in London for the first time in 400 years, 18 months after an initiative began to reintroduce the species to the capital. Enfield council began London’s beaver reintroduction programme last year as part of a wider rewilding and natural flood-management project.
The semi-aquatic rodents were hunted to extinction in the 16th century during the Elizabethan era as they were predominantly killed for their fur and meat.”
