We tend to think of cities as a realm apart, somehow separate from nature, but nothing could be further from the truth. In Feral Cities , Tristan Donovan digs below the urban gloss to uncover the wild creatures that we share our streets and homes with, and profiles the brave and fascinating people who try to manage them. Along the way readers will meet the wall-eating snails that are invading Miami, the boars that roam Berlin, and the monkey gangs of Cape Town. From feral chickens and carpet-roaming bugs to coyotes hanging out in sandwich shops and birds crashing into skyscrapers, this book takes readers on a journey through streets and neighbourhoods that are far more alive than we often realise, shows how animals are adjusting to urban living, and asks what messages the wildlife in our metropolises have for us.
