Spotted: newborn beavers for the Scottish Beaver Trial

The first beaver kits to be born in the wild as part of the Scottish Beaver Trial have now been spotted in Knapdale Forest,
Mid-Argyll.
As part of the partnership project between the Scottish Wildlife Trust and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, which
achieved conservation history last May by launching the first formal trial reintroduction of a mammal back to the UK, the
newborn beavers (known as kits) are estimated to be eight weeks old and their sighting marks a positive achievement in the
progress of this landmark project.
Christian Robstad, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland‟s Beaver Field Officer, described his experience spotting
Scotland‟s exciting new arrivals: “Seeing the Trial‟s newborn beaver kits was really amazing - this is a huge achievement for
the project and for conservation in the UK. It‟s often difficult to tell if wild beavers are pregnant especially as they are elusive
and largely nocturnal animals, but with our adult female beavers at two sites known to be in peak condition, there was a real
possibility that kits could follow. Increasingly in the last few weeks, staff and volunteers have seen more evidence that there
were young around and tracking activities were stepped up. After weeks of patient observation, we were finally rewarded with
not just one kit being spotted but a second kit from a different family group as well. The first emerged as part of a „family
outing‟ with its parents and older sister close by to offer additional protection. It kept close to the edge of the loch and called
out to its family for reassurance while it began to learn to forage for food.”
Simon Jones, the Scottish Wildlife Trust‟s Scottish Beaver Trial Project Manager, continued: “Receiving confirmation of the
presence of at least two beaver kits this year in Knapdale is a fantastic step forward for the Scottish Beaver Trial as we ca n
now begin to see how a small reintroduced population starts to naturally establish itself in the wild. Both these beaver
families are real Trial success stories, having settled into Knapdale very well. Both have built their own lodge and one family
has had great success building a dam to access better food supplies. This has created a magnificent new area of wetland in
which wildlife is now flourishing in.”
The Scottish Beaver Trial aims to provide information which could determine whether or not beavers are reintroduced into the
wild across Scotland. Twenty-five European countries have already reintroduced beavers to their wild lands.
