Animals in the city

One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of

Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the city streets past
houses, shops and offices. Then it found some food in bins
outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning,
someone saw the bear and called the police. The police came
with a vet from the city zoo. They put the bear in a lorry and
took it to the mountains outside the city. Luckily, the bear
was safe. But what happens in other countries when big
animals come into cities? In Vancouver it is unusual to see a
bear, but in some cities you can see big animals on the city
streets every day.

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in South Africa baboons come
into the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees. They even go
into houses and take food from cupboards and fridges! Baboons are strong animals and they can

scare people. But the city can be dangerous for

baboons too. Sometimes, cars and buses kill baboons in
accidents. Human food is very bad for the baboons’
teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are
Baboon Monitors working in Cape Town. Their job is to
find baboons in the city and return them to the
countryside.

In Berlin in Germany, pigs sometimes come into the

city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants in
parks and gardens. Sometimes they eat vegetables
from gardens and they walk in the street and cause
accidents. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people
do not like the pigs and they want the government and the police to stop them entering the city.

In Moscow in Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs. The

dogs live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations.
Some dogs live in groups and others live alone. Many
people in Moscow like the dogs. They give them food and
water. Some people make small houses for the dogs in
their gardens. This helps the dogs in winter, when the
temperature in Moscow is -10 ºC and there is a lot of snow
and ice.

Choose the correct alternative to complete the sentences.
