Baby beavers have been born in urban London for the first time in more than 400 years, conservationists say.<br /><br />A family of five Eurasian beavers were introduced to a nature reserve in Ealing, west London, back in October as part of a project that hopes to encourage wildlife in urban areas. <br /><br />Just eight months later, two baby beavers - known as kits - were born.<br /><br />Conservationists are "over the moon" with the births, which they say prove that "humans and wildlife can thrive side by side in urban environments."<br /><br />The hope now is that the beavers will transform the location into a flourishing wetland - making for an improved ecosystem for plants and animals alike.
