This adorable video shows a baby beaver born as part of the England’s first wild breeding programme for 500 years.
The emergence of the young has been heralded by wildlife experts as proof the project to reintroduce the mammals into the wild is working.
The trio of kits have been born on the River Otter and joined the group of beavers who were returned to the wild last year.
It is not know when they were born but they were caught on camera by wildlife enthusiast Chris Townend, who described the mum and kit as looking healthy and happy.
Chris, 44, of Budleigh Salterton, Devon, runs wildlife watching company Wise Birding Holidays.
