Beavers in Britain
Six Bulgarian beavers were released into a reserve yesterday [...A Defra spokeswoman said] “The Eurasian beaver is not a species which is ordinarily resident in Great Britain.” [...] Simon Pickering of the Cotswold Water Park Society coordinated the release, and said: “I hope to see the day when beavers are freely roaming once again.”
And no doubt he yearns for the day when the herds of African elephants can once more gallop freely across the Cambridgeshire fens.
