The two beavers are showing signs that they are forming a pair, conservationists say.

A new mate has been found for a bereaved beaver after his first partner disappeared.

But tragedy struck last summer when the female went missing, and after extensive searches ecologists concluded she was probably dead. A spokesperson said conservationists and volunteers had been initially unconcerned by the first female's disappearance at the Greathough Brook enclosure. "We increased our monitoring on the site and the local team used beaver traps baited with apples to try and capture both animals to carry out a welfare check, weigh them and replace any ear tags that may have fallen off," the Forestry England spokesperson said.Working with the Beaver Trust, Forestry England relocated a new female from Scotland to the Gloucestershire enclosure in October.The two beavers found one another quickly, and seem to be very happy in one another's company.
