The Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation is raising a baby beaver after it was abandoned by its parents, Staff say at almost a year old, it's like raising a toddler.
WATCH: A newborn beaver, abandoned by its family and found in an Edmonton-area pond, has found love and a second chance at life. As Joelle Tomlinson reports, the little kit has formed an extraordinary bond with the caregivers at a wildlife rehab facility near Calgary.She’s like a toddler with a huge personality — screaming or slapping her tail until she gets what she wants.
But this is no ordinary family member. It’s a baby beaver, brought to the wildlife centre in Madden, Alta., in the spring of 2024, after being rescued near Edmonton. But it’s still exciting to watch her grow and reaching, as Barth described them, her beaver milestones.Tweet ThisStaff at the AIWC say watching the baby beaver grow and experience events like her first swim or chewing her first stick has been very exciting and gratifying.
