  1. >The first beavers to be born from wild parents in a Highland national park for 400 years have been spotted by nature workers.

    >Beavers released in the Cairngorms National Park have given birth to two babies, or kits.

    >They were born to two of the six families relocated there, which was part of an effort to re-establish the species in the area.

  2. I think this must be a misreporting. The beavers have been about for ages now and have definitely been breeding! I first saw them on Loch Tay near Killin about 6 or 7 years ago and they had kits then.

    Edit: ah I misread that it was specifically the first born in the Cairngorms, that makes more sense
