The beaver had been gnawing through tree trunks
|
A beaver living wild in part of rural Perthshire for the past several months has been captured.
It was thought beavers were on the loose after trees started to disappear at a fishery, with the trunks gnawed in two, and then a lodge later emerged.
Staff from Edinburgh Zoo have now captured what appears to be a male European beaver.
Releasing beavers into the wild is illegal but it is not yet known if there are any more in the area.
Tayside Police are investigating.
