Beaver spotted in Devon's River Otter by dog walker

Hunted for their fur, the animals were wiped out in Britain hundreds of years ago. Three beavers escaped from a farm at Lifton in 2009. Only two were recaptured and it is believed the one that remained at large was responsible for felling trees several miles away. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-23332669#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
