This happens in other big cities. In Berlin boars and foxes are part of city life now.


We have beavers in Stockholm too. I occasionslly see them at night when running i central Stockholm. We also have foxes, hares and deer, but those you can see all the time the beavers are a more rare sight since they live in the water and are nocturnal.


In Chicago we have coyotes and deer in the city. They live in and use parks, cemeteries, the river, and quiet residential streets at night to get around.

I once had a big, well-fed coyote trot right past me on the sidewalk of a major road in broad daylight, before darting across four lanes of traffic to a cemetery.


I see foxes all the time in Berlin, often right when I exit the subway. And I live in the middle of the city. Tons of other animals in the big parks too, for example water turtles in Tiergarten


That’s really neat; I’ve seen foxes in the wild a few times when camping (in Ontario) and they seem extremely skittish and uninterested in being around humans.


And lions too. /s
