    Take a tour around the globe and discover the remarkable creatures that live in the most unexpected places.

    Spot peregrine falcons high above your head in New York, dumpster-diving bears in the back gardens of Canada, and glow-in-the-dark scorpions hiding in dark crevices in Brazil.

    Our planet's cities are bursting with unseen and unexpected critters. Learn about the sea lions who use city piers as their napping spots, the peppered moths who change color to hide in plain sight, and the cheeky monkeys who zip through traffic to find their next snack. On this trip around the globe, you’ll discover how these clever creatures have changed their bodies, brains, and behaviors to help them thrive in the city. Find out why striped marsh frogs throw back garden pool parties and why you can usually find a fox out for a prowl at the same time as the bin lorry!

    Perfect for curious children, this book shows that you are surrounded by nature even in the very center of the city.
    Dan Rouse is a passionate presenter, wildlife conservationist, and ornithologist from Swansea, Wales.
