"Two beavers are successfully reducing the risk of flooding in Plymouth,
scientists have said.
Plymouth City Council said the University of Exeter had studied the pair of
Eurasian beavers at Poole Farm since they arrived in October.
Scientists found that during peak flows the result of the beavers' damming,
alongside man-made leaky dams, had reduced the flow of water in the Bircham
Valley by 23%.
The council said it was believed to be the first research of its kind to study
the effect of the animals in an urban environment."
