There’s an especial magic to seeing animals in urban environments, like a bonus prize, an expected and even undeserved doubling up on beauty. I usually prefer nature to cities (though Hong Kong is pretty nice), but I recognize what cities have to offer. I like good restaurants and air conditioning and gourmet espresso and book stores and even street art. I also know that city amenities are generally unavailable in rural or wilderness areas. And vice versa. That’s why, I think, it’s such a treat to see animals on city streets.
