BC Wildlife Park has two new residents and they’re awfully cute! 

The first furry critter is named Adler and was discovered wandering down a busy road in a Vernon residential area about five weeks ago.

The second baby beaver is named Willow and arrived at the park after being found alone under a bridge just over three weeks ago. 

While the rehabilitation team isn’t exactly sure how the two kits became separated from their families, high water levels could have played a role. 

Thankfully, both beavers are receiving around the clock care as well as bottle feeding and appear to be doing well. 

The rehabilitation team says it could take more than two years before the beavers are mature enough to be reintroduced into the wild.
