This is Steve, a beaver who was supposed to be living in an enclosure in Wallington, Northumberland with other members of his family.
But Steve was gnawing to get away, and was constantly trying to escape.
Over the course of a year the beaver broke free three times from the National Trust Estate, twice heading to a farm which had a “lovely fishing lake”.
But now conservationists have come up with a new plan to help the itchy-footed rodent stay put in his forever home.
