Beavers are making a comeback in the UK after 400 years! 🦫 Beavers were hunted to extinction in the UK 400 years ago. But now, thanks to the work of Heather Devey and many others, these ecosystem engineers are back and here to stay. #Trailblazers | BBC Earth

For the first time in 400 years, there are beavers living in Shropshire. Once a thriving species across the English countryside, beavers were hunted to extinction in the 17th century. On Friday afternoon, a pair were released at the Old River Bed nature reserve, near Shrewsbury. BBC Birmingham #Beavers #Nature #Animals #Shropshire | BBC
