There are animals among us. Boars in Berlin, coyotes in Washington, D.C., and mountain lions in Los Angeles are just a few examples of the wildest populations moving to cities.
Christine Dell'Amore writes a post introducing the topics covered in a new book by Tristan Donovan, titled Feral Cities: Adventures with Animals in the Urban Jungle.
"Thanks to several factors—the food cornucopia that is suburbia, climate change expanding species' ranges, and less hunting, to name a few—wildlife is going increasingly urban worldwide. (Get facts on suburban wildlife, too.)," writes Dell'Amore to introduce the topic. The article moves on to a Q&A with Donovan on topics ranging from the author's interest in urban wildlife, the journalistic approach to the book, and what readers might take away from the book.
