Baby beaver rescued during 2016 B.C. floods released back into wild

A baby beaver whose dam was washed away by floods in Dawson Creek, B.C. has been released back into the wild after two years of rehabilitation on Vancouver Island.

Now fully grown, the beaver was about the size of a kitten when it was found near the edge of Dawson Creek in the province’s northeast, which was saw dramatic flooding in June 2016.

“The assumption is that [its] dam was washed out and she had been washed downstream,” said Wendy Davies, manager of the South Peace SPCA.
