Wildlife Cities

Set off on an incredible urban safari and meet the surprising animal neighbours that share your city

Take a tour around the globe and discover the remarkable creatures that live in the most unexpected places.

Spot the peregrine falcons high above your head in New York, the dumpster-diving bears in the back gardens of Romania and the US, and the glow-in-the-dark scorpions hiding in houses in Brazil.

Our planet's cities are bursting with unseen and unexpected critters. Learn about the peppered moths that changed colour to hide in plain sight, the cheeky monkeys that zip through traffic to find their next snack, and the foxes that have learnt their local bin schedules. Meet Singapore's fish-stealing otters and Berlin's allotment annihilating boars. On this trip around the globe, you’ll discover how these clever creatures have changed their bodies, brains, and behaviours to help them thrive in our cities.

Perfect for curious children, this book shows that you are surrounded by nature even in the very centre of the city.
