Ulm Police Safely Escort Beavers Off Busy Highway

Two beavers repeatedly entering the B10 highway were relocated to a nearby river to prevent risks to traffic and wildlife.

On March 29, 2025, Ulm police intervened to rescue two beavers that posed a hazard by repeatedly entering the B10 highway.
The animals were escorted to the Große Blau river, where they safely entered the water.
This incident highlights ongoing challenges in managing the region's growing beaver population, which has caused traffic disruptions and property damage.
Beavers are protected in Europe, contributing to biodiversity but also creating conflicts in urban and agricultural areas.
Encounters with beavers are increasingly common in the region, with some animals even becoming local icons, such as a famous beaver in Augsburg that gained online fame in 2021.
