A new family of beavers has been released into forests next to a Scottish loch with a heart-warming video showing the animals taking their first swim. The two adults and three kits were let out into restored wetland habitat at Loch Ard, near Aberfoyle, which falls within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) and the Beaver Trust worked together with the Loch Lomond park authority on this latest beaver release, with the FLS now having relocated 24 beavers to land it manages over the last 13 months. FLS previously created a network of ponds and new native woodland alongside the Duchray Water to restore a wetland environment.

Video working for anyone else, or just "loading"?
