Great video. In Ireland, traditional farming practices once benefited many species such as hares, barn owls and corncrakes but increased intensification of farming since Ireland joined the EU saw their decline due to mechanisation, removing hedgerows and use of pesticides.
Here in the UK red foxes became as common in urban areas (including city centers) as they are in rural areas - often with higher population density than their farm cousins! I see foxes in my garden EVERY SINGLE DAY. Not just at night, but at any time of day - sometimes it's 3 at a time. I have seen badgers and muntjac deer as well (an introduced species from China!). Our house is less than 2 miles from Leicester city center!
During my first trip to Australia, I was fascinated by the fruit bats in the trees in the botanical gardens near the Sydney Opera House each evening at dusk. We have a huge urban bat colony here in Austin, Texas, but they’re Mexican Free-Tailed Bats and they’re tiny - with bodies only about three inches long. Those fruit bats in Sydney were humongous by comparison. So cool to watch them fly and climb around in the trees, looking for fruit.
In the UK we have foxes that have adapted to the urban environment. Literally called city foxes or urban foxes. They are sort of greyish and live of rubbish as far as I know. Always see and hear them at night
I didn't realize Australian Ibises were common in residential areas, I saw a few on a fence on my last visit to Perth and thought they were really cool looking lmao
i have one complaint and thats its to short. i would love a 30 min video abouth how animals are adapting and evolving living with humans. i mean humas are killing of animal but some thrive in our city's and how would these animals look like in 0.5 milion years. assuming there are stil humans
TTK does it again. Loved this video, educational, interesting and just downright enjoyable. Your Australian content is for me personally, always unique in its details. Thank you for the effort, always appreciated.😮🦘
