After 400 years, Beavers are back in London - Read to know more!

The reason why two beavers were brought to London 400 years later has been revealed. Beavers were constantly hunted for skin and meat. So they became extinct in England as early as the 16th century. 400 years later, 2 beavers have been brought back to London, the capital of the United Kingdom. Two-year-old male and female beavers are planned to bred in water bodies, officials said.

Beavers fill the banks of water bodies with soil and protect the roots of trees. So the risk of flooding is avoided. That's why beavers have been brought back to London, biologists say.
