European beaver

Rare footage has been captured by the camera of wildlife documenter in Kosovo, Arian Mavriqi.

The author of the show "Wildlife" on KTV has documented the presence of the European beaver, for the first time in Kosovo in two centuries.

As he said, this animal was not present in the territories of Kosovo for a long time due to climate change and hunting.

This beaver is known for building dams with oak branches and eating oak roots and leaves. Its teeth grow every year. It weighs up to 50 kilograms.
