- The only beaver in the Upper Engadine has found a female.
- The beaver had to wait eight years for a female to join him.
- The next few years should show whether the tender bonds will strengthen and bear fruit.
According to the findings, a female has now moved into the area, as the Office for Hunting and Fishing of the Canton of Graubünden announced on Thursday evening. This raises hopes of offspring. The next few years should show whether tender bonds will strengthen and bear fruit.
However, the biological clock is ticking for the current bachelor. He doesn't have much time left to reproduce, wrote the Graubünden authorities. He has already reached the remarkable age of ten years for a beaver.
