This time last year, we reported that the UK was in the midst of a full-blown beaver boom. Now, in some brilliant news for the adorable creatures and wildlife fans everywhere, baby beavers (or kits, as they’re better known) have been born in London for the first time in 400 years!

Well, almost. The actual first beaver to be born in the capital in 400 years was this one in Enfield, but the newest infants are thought to be the first in urban London.

According to volunteers at Ealing Beaver Project in west London, at least two kits have been born on the Paradise Fields site in Greenford. The Eurasian beaver family was introduced to the urban wetland in October and the new arrivals prove that they’re pretty chuffed with their new home.
