    BOOM: Beavers

    "Beavers have built a dam on Exmoor for the first time in more than 400 years.

    The rodents were released into the wild in Somerset in January this year as part of a National Trust project to restore streams and reduce flooding.

    Beavers became extinct in the UK in the 16th Century due to hunting, but have been successfully reintroduced at a handful of sites in recent years.

    The trust said the dam "might look modest, but [it] is incredibly special" and had "created an instant wetland".

    Wildlife camera footage shows the beavers gnawing trees and collecting vegetation to build the dam at the Holnicote Estate near Minehead.

    Their construction can allow for deep pools of water which offer animals shelter from predators and a place to store food."
