As good as wild! A bit of landscape management helps those critters settle as they can cause a fair bit of damage. Like the lynx these were hunted to near extinction in Europe and have been slowly reintroduced. This guy could be from a number of subspecies. I like all rodents!

Sort of in the wild.. this on was at a man-made lake of an old coal mine in an nature reserve!!

No worries Christiane. There are actually various subspecies of Castor fiber. Was this in the wild?
