A.
It was late at night when a bear came into a small city in Canada. It had a walk through the city streets past houses, cafes and offices. Then it found some food in bins next to a restaurant and began eating. Early in the morning, a man saw the bear and called the police. The police came with a vet from the zoo. They put the bear in a car and took it to the mountains far from the city. Fortunately, the bear was safe. But what is the situation in other countries when big animals come into cities? In that city in Canada it is unusual to see a bear.
B.
Big and small animals usually come into different cities to find food. In Africa baboons come into the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees. They may even go into houses and take food from tables! Baboons are rather strong animals and they can frighten people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too. Sometimes, cars kill baboons in accidents. Human food is also very bad for the baboons’ teeth because it has so much sugar. Now, there are Baboon Monitors working in the city. Their job is to find baboons and return them to the countryside.
C.
In Germany, pigs from time to time come into the city to find some food. They eat flowers and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they eat vegetables from gardens and they appear in the street and cause accidents. Some people like the pigs and they give them food to eat and water to drink. But other people do not like the pigs and they want the government and the police to stop them entering their city.
D.
In Russia, there are about 34,000 wild dogs. The dogs live in different parks, old houses, markets and even train stations. Some dogs live in groups and others live alone. It is not a surprise that many people in Moscow like dogs. They give them food and water. Some people make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps the dogs in winter, when the temperature is -10 ºC and there is a lot of snow.
E.
In the USA raccoons are very good at living in many places. You can find them in forests and even in cities. They like to take things from chicken houses, litter bins, and vegetable gardens. But why do they come to your yard? Raccoons come to your yard for food or a place to live. They like things that are easy to get to, like open dustbins, pet food, or birdseed. They also like to go under porches and decks, or climb trees. They like gardens with fruits and vegetables.
