The British beaver became extinct 400 years ago when the last ones were hunted for their fur. Now the Scottish Wildlife Trust has decided to re-introduce the beaver into Scotland. Four beaver families have travelled to Scotland from Norway to be released into the wild. Some farmers are not happy about this, but other people are very pleased. The beavers are in quarantine just now, but when there 6 months is over they can start to build dams! They will be released in the area of Scotland called Argyll.
I hope these Norwegian beavers will soon feel at home in Scotland.
