Wild beaver returns to Norfolk after 500 years

A wild beaver has been spotted in Norfolk for the first time since the 16th century, and it’s causing quite a buzz! Caught on a trail camera at Pensthorpe Nature Reserve, this beaver is already hard at work building its lodge along the River Wensum. No one’s sure how it got there, but its arrival is great news for local ecosystems—beavers are famous for creating ponds and dams that help prevent flooding and drought. It’s a reminder of how much impact one animal can have on the land. What do you think about bringing back species that disappeared centuries ago? #Science #Norfolk #Wildlife
