A mother and baby beaver eating bark together at Ewhurst Park, near Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK. This is the first time in 400 years that beavers have been born in the county. The young ones, known as kits, were spotted in early July. “I was showing a group around the beaver enclosure when I heard a distinctive sploshing sound,” said park worker Fiona Kenny. “All of a sudden we were amazed to see a baby beaver splashing about in the water”
