Raccoons raiding your garbage, squirrels on wires, coyotes scouting for pets left out after dark — they’re not the urban riffraff of the animal world. According to author Peter S. Alagona, “The recent explosion of wildlife in American cities is one of the greatest ecological success stories since the dawn of conservation, but it happened largely by accident.” In his fascinating book “The Accidental Ecosystem“, Alagona helps readers peer into the secret lives of the wildlife next door and details how certain species came to thrive in urban areas.
