When is a monkey a problem? Where does a boar go explore? Discover the wild animals in New York, learn why rats love city life, see what mayhem monkeys cause in cities, do a bioblitz to count the critters around you, and more.
It’s easy to think of city life and nature as opposites. After all, nature is full of fields and forests and streams, while cities are full of people and cars and buildings. But life finds a way, and you’d be surprised to learn just how much wildlife can live—and often thrive—in cities alongside humans! As human civilization continues to sprawl, animals displaced by construction need to go somewhere. Learn what kinds of wildlife make good neighbors and which ones cause trouble. Stroll Central Park and meet introduced species, for better or for worse. And take a walk down memory lane to the period early in the pandemic when people stayed home… and animals got a little bolder! It’s sure to be a wild time in this concrete jungle!
