Beavers in the ‘hood at Vancouver’s Olympic Park

Beavers have moved into Vancouver’s Hinge Park, right in the heart of the trendy Olympic Village neighbourhood, and are attracting international attention.

In exciting recent news, three kits have been born to the pioneering beaver pair and can be seen swimming about in their home stream with their parents. To keep up-to-date with the family, follow OlympicVillageBeaver (@VancouverBeaver) on Twitter.
