Twiggy and Woody are a famous beaver pair in Lancashire England. While Mom and Dad were movie stars with “autumn watch” (an amazing BBC program documenting seasonal activities of Wildlife) junior was found injured and nearly starved and taken to a special enclosure to be handreared. He is, for what its worth, the first known beaver to be born in that part of England in 500 years. Family members are fed on willow, carrots and apples, and live the good life. Check out Jr looking very interested in his surroudings.

Notice the very slight differences in size and head shape from our beavers. Jr is Castor Fiber, ours are Castor Canadensis.
