A new survey suggests the number of wild beavers now living in Kent runs into the hundreds.

The animals, which were extinct in the UK for centuries, can even be spotted in the centre of Canterbury.

There have been increasing reports of beaver signs along the River Stour in East Kent and the data indicates that an established beaver population has been present for more than 10 years.

One of the report’s authors said Kent hosted the biggest population of beavers in England.
