Or at least, were........ Photo above shows an 8,000 year old beaver dam, exposed by coastal erosion on the East Yorkshire coast. Tooth cut marks can be seen in some of the pieces of wood, and there are well preserved hazel nuts, alder cones (very fragile) and pieces of bark. The beavers did not live by the sea, oh no - at the time they were building, the coastline would have been at least two or three miles away. And we are still losing land to the sea today.
