It's exciting to hear about new (old) wildlife back in the countryside. I've always been slightly jealous of the countries which still have wild creatures roaming around beyond the usual deer/foxes/badgers.

deer/foxes/badgers. - Oh My!!
 
Warning on the news today, somewhere near Peterlee, drivers to be aware of young boar misbehaving on the roads - with some film of them. They looked half starved.

To be fair we've got quite a lot of wildlife of our own, otters, ferrets/polecats arguably, stoats, birds of prey, feral and real wildcats, polemartins.. quite a long list really.

So not really keen on any novelty introductions of bears, wolves, large carnivores, etc and not sure yet about the beavers.

Wonder what God that is? Never heard of any beaver references in the most religeous works.
cue Monty Python sketch "No, sorry, not sorry, no Beavers allowed on the Ark even if they want to " Activist: "Aw go on, they're cute no trouble"
"No, They can't come in here, they'll gnaw a hole in the boat....then..."
 
Separate thread -Apparently there are some wallabies living wild in the UK in a couple of locations, and a very naughty one that keeps escaping from a farmer, and might be a co-conspirator with the beaver......
