The Urban Jungle on "Planet Earth II"

[More to come]
 




"Cities" - pulls together many of the same themes of this blog - a most interesting episode.  More elaboration to come.

New York City has the highest density of nesting peregrine falcons of any place in the world.

Mumbai has the highest concentration of leopards in the world.

Starling ballets over Rome in December.

Catfish in Paris eating pigeons.  A radical new hunting strategy for what is normally a bottom dwelling fish.

Hawksbill turtle hatchlings going up the beach where crabs lay in wait.  Unable to adapt to the changes of the urban environment.

Vertical forest in Milan.  Greening cities in Singapore - richer in species than any other city in the world.  Smooth coated otters returning.  Grove of super trees covered with creepers.
