What WildLife To Look for in Your Backyard!
You might be surprised at how much wildlife adapts to urban life while you won't usually see large
predators or deep - forest animals. Many species thrive even in small backyards.
Here are common types of Wild Animals you might find:
Urban Mammals
- Raccoon: Masters of garbage raids; mostly nocturnal.
- Squirrels: Very common in trees, parks, and rooftops.
- Opossums: Nocturnal scavengers, often under desks or sheds.
- Mice/Rats: Attracted to food, compost, or clutter.
- Bats: Come out at dusk to feed on insects.
- Stray Cats (feral): Technically domestic, but often behave like wild animals.
- Foxes: (In some cities) - Mostly seen at night or dawn.
