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 houses in Brazil.

Our planet's cities are bursting with unseen and unexpected critters. Learn about the peppered moths who change colour to hide in plain sight, the cheeky monkeys who zip through traffic to find their next snack, and the foxes who have learnt their local bin schedules. Meet Singapore's fish-stealing otters and Berlin's allotment annihilating boars. On this trip around the globe, you'll discover how these clever creatures have changed their bodies, brains, and behaviours to help them thrive in the city.

Perfect for curious children, this book shows that you are surrounded by nature even in the very centre of the city.
