The beaver Castor fiber (L.) and Castor canadensis (Kuhl) in Finland [PDF]

open access: yesActa Theriologica, 1974
Dane paleontologiczne wskazują, ze bobry zamieszkują Finlandie od 6500-7000 lat. Intensywne lowienie tych zwierząt spowodowalo, ze ostatni osobnik zostal zabity w polnocnej Finlandii w 1868 r. Dopiero w latach 1935-36 przywieziono 19 bobrow europejskich z Norwegii, a w 1937 7 bobrow kanadyjskich ze stanu New Jork. Ten drugi gatunek szybko zwiekszal swą
