First beaver born on Exmoor for 400 yearsA baby beaver has been born on Exmoor for the first time in 400 years.Camera footage shows the baby, known as a kit, swimming with its mother during the night in a river on the National Trust’s Holnicote Estate.The parents, two Eurasian beavers, were brought to live in the area in January 2020 as part of efforts to reintroduce the once-native semi-aquatic mammals to the Somerset estate.Beavers are making a return to Britain after being hunted to extinction for their fur, glands and meat in the 16th century.
