Wild animals can be seen in unexpecting places in the city areas of Japan.
These animals have amazingly adapted into urban life to coexist with
humans, and they have learned to take advantage of the environment.
Usually, the animals live quietly and do not interact directly with humans,
but there is always a chance that their behavior could cause trouble in
human society. However, the wild animals have the vitality to live in
symbiosis.
