Wild animals you can see in cities: Wildlife getting closer

In many cities around the world, urbanization has led to the coexistence of humans and various species of wild animals. 

As natural habitats shrink and human activities encroach upon wildlife areas, some animals have adapted to urban environments. 

Here are some wild animals that you might encounter in cities these days.

Raccoons

Raccoons are highly adaptable and have successfully established themselves in many urban areas. 

They are known for scavenging through trash bins in search of food.

Squirrels

Squirrels are common urban inhabitants, often seen darting across streets or foraging in parks. 

They are agile climbers and can thrive in city parks and green spaces.

Foxes

In some cities, foxes have adapted to urban life and can be spotted in parks and residential neighborhoods, especially during the night.

Opossums

Opossums are nocturnal creatures that may appear in cities, particularly in areas with green spaces and vegetation.

Deer

In certain regions, deer populations have adapted to suburban and urban areas, venturing into neighborhoods and parks.

Coyotes

Coyotes are increasingly being spotted in urban environments, especially on the outskirts of cities. 

They are highly adaptable and often hunt rodents and smaller animals.
