    I’m always impressed how different things can be normal depending on where you live. Alligators on the way to work! It never crossed my mind someone’s daily commute might include alligators

      in London urban foxes were a daily nuisance, then i briefly lived on an ostrich farm in Poland, now I live in America and regularly have deer in my back yard.

        I have only once seen a fox, but we do have city coyotes. And amazing birds, whomping big herons and storks, and flocks of ibis, and in my neighborhood peacocks, downtown there is a flock of green parrots. I feel bad for them, sure they’d all rather have the space without the city but they have adapted. And we do have a lot of green space, mitigation is mandated when you pave over land otherwise flooding would be so much worse in the rainy season.

        Ostriches can live in Poland? It seems so cold there.

          I guess they have a wider range than we usually think.
          I’ve seen ostrich farms in Hungary and Serbia. Southern than Poland but still far outside of typical ostrich habitat.
