Pub customers were left stunned after a beaver walked into a bar in the West Midlands before hiding beneath a smoking shelter in the beer garden. Punters at the Yew Tree Pub in Norton Canes were left scratching their heads when the large rodent wandered in at around 8.45pm on Monday evening (25/7).
The unusual visitor scampered past shocked customers in the main bar and to the smoking shelter outside where it then took cover behind some chairs. Volunteers from a local wildlife sanctuary were called to the scene where they found the creature casually "lying on its back washing itself" in the beer garden.
It was eventually enticed into a cage before being checked over by a vet where it was found to be healthy. Lindsay Newell, from Linjoy Wildlife Sanctuary and Rescue, then worked with Natural England and Staffordshire Wildlife Trust to transfer it to a specialist centre.
