One night, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets, passing houses, shops and offices until it found some food in the bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. They came with a vet(兽医) from the city zoo, put the bear in a truck and took it back to the mountains. Luckily, the bear was safe, but what happens in other countries when big animals come into cities?
In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons (狒狒) enter the city when they are famished. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards and fridges. Baboons are strong animals and they can frighten people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.
Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is also not a good choice for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside.
In Berlin, Germany, wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the wild pigs and give them food and water to drink. Other people, however, think the wild pigs are influencing their lives.
In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come into cities to find food. We need some good ideas to help them solve the food problem without hurting both them and us.
