Another beaver makes The Bronx River in New York City it's home - doubles the beaver population to two individuals pioneering back to health what was 30 years ago a cesspool!!!!



Historically, one of the first and most badly polluted Rivers in the USA, the Bronx River in New York City is slowly on the mend and now calling itself home to two Beavers--the first time in 200 years that this waterway is hospitable enough to host Beavers.

Three years ago, the first beaver was spotted in the River and now a companion/mate/associate(no one knows quite yet) is at his(her side)....................fantastic that this River has healed enough to invite the Beavers in.
The Beaver is on New York State's flag and Seal................As we all know, tens of thousands were killed for their pelts upon the Dutch founding of New Amsterdam(New York) in the early 1600's. By 1800, extirpated from the State...................and now with some luck, a breeding pair to re-stock the watershed in and around Manhattan
