In recent years, reporting of wild animals in unusual places is becoming fairly common. The Coyote pack that wanders around the hill outside (and inside) Los Angeles urges people to build tall walls and fences around the house. In the eastern part of the United States, homeowners often find deer on suburban lawn.
Twenty years ago witnessing of wild animals generally occurred in a particular environment environmentally. When I was growing from the late 20th century to the middle of the 20th century, foxes and deer's eyesight was a thrill related to great excitement. Today, the deer walks behind the shopping center, and the garden shop in the suburbs of the city sells a deer repellent.
Why are these wild animals inviting densely populated areas? The answer is simple. The building boom of the 1980s and 1990s was eaten by emerging areas, and extensive housing development in rural areas was done. People who moved to a new house needed a school, a hospital, a shopping center, and more land was paved. Animals with survival skills learned to live in people, roads, places with high population. They adapted to the new environment.
When the country was filled with bulldozers and loud construction machinery, several wild animals escaped the confusion. They moved toward the city and moved along the green forest near the highway. Once in the suburbs, it protected trees and trees. Food was available. Deer is in the garden. The fox had a meal with rat, mouse, occasionally a rabbit. Hawks searched for bird feeders, moved rear yards, hunted near the highway looking for unwilling mice and rats.
Clearly, the invasion of some wild animals is useful for suburban areas. Hawks, owls, and foxes eat pests. The taste of their food is good to the neighborhood. However, once a beautiful deer begins to look at azaleas, it is no longer attractive.
The coyotes in the West and Coyote in the eastern part, which has greatly expanded its reach, eat pests, but troubles families' cats and small dogs.
The loss of America's habitat is an old story. When the first British colonists arrived in the 17th century, the east coast was one big mass of the future forest. Bison and Elk lived on the east coast but they were a small version of the western cousin. Colonists quickly removed the forest for farms, farmers, rapidly growing timber operations. Trapper entered the forest to harvest animals. fur.
There are several hidden virgin forests now. Wildlife dependent on such areas is almost gone. The United States is causing some extinction including the end of the famous passenger pigeons. Once, the beanie flock was very huge, darkening the sky. Despite the huge number of pigeons there is none left today. They were forced into oblivion.
In the southern part of the United States, Ivory Building's Woodpecker lived in the base of hardwood and wetland of Hinoki. However, after the civil war, timber companies were invaded and increased destruction more than war. The broadleaf forests in the south disappeared at an alarming rate. In the early stages of the 20th century, ivory buildings were increasingly rare. Trophy hunters occasionally shot Ivory Bills. Declining number of witnesses, decades passed, ivory building woodpecker was claimed to have been destroyed by loss of habitat.
American bison is a familiar American emblem. Bisons are drawn on coins, live in our hearts as symbols of American wildlife, stand as signature animals of the great American grassland. However, the American bison was forced into extinction by hunting. A buffalo killing trip was brought in from the window of the train, when the train passed by, the bison was shot and their bodies rotted in the plain.
America has caused huge damage to wildlife in a short history. Wildlife invaded in the suburbs demonstrates a wonderful ability to adapt to the illegal environment. So next time, something unusual, not a dog Look at somewhat different things, you may be wondering what you are seeing - wild animals, bears, coyotes, or fox own backyards.
