Ever wonder who your nighttime city neighbors are? While you’re fast asleep, a hidden world comes alive on your doorstep. That rustling in the bushes? It might be a family of foxes out for a midnight snack. And that blur zooming past your office window? Probably a peregrine falcon, the world’s fastest animal, hunting pigeons at breakneck speeds.
Cities are secretly teeming with wildlife, from raccoons raiding trash cans to coyotes strolling down suburban streets. These clever critters have adapted to urban life, turning our concrete jungles into their personal playgrounds. And it’s not just about sneaking by – many animals are thriving! Peregrine falcons nest on skyscrapers, bees make honey on rooftop gardens, and even rare orchids bloom in abandoned lots. By planning green corridors and wildlife-friendly spaces, we can make our cities better homes for both humans and animals alike.
