urban wildlife
Metropolitan animal inhabitants
Urban wildlife refers to wild animals that live in or around cities and towns—raccoons raiding garbage cans, hawks nesting on skyscrapers, coyotes roaming suburban neighborhoods.
The term acknowledges that cities are ecosystems, not just human habitats.
The city launched an urban wildlife management program after deer populations surged.
