24、气候变化是导致这些动物离开自然栖息地的原因。 不管这种认识有多少 真实性, 我们同样需要考虑到, 这些所谓的 “城市动物” 中的一些根本没有迁移, 而是我们人类进入了它们的领地。无论动物走到哪里,它们都能在途中发现城镇 和城市。由于无处安家,它们别无选择只能搬来和我们一起居住。 然而,对于最新最狂野的栖息动物来说,一座城市可以提供很多好处。随着 我们的城市变得更加环保, 它为寻找新栖息地的动物提供了越来越有吸引力的空 间。在许多天敌无法接近的地方,这些新来者常常在它们的新城市生活中茁壮成 长。今天,在伦敦到处都可以看到狐狸,甚至有一只狐狸被发现生活在沙德大厦 的 72 层,当时这座大厦正在建造
25、中!更重要的是,饥饿的动物在我们的花园里 和我们扔掉的剩菜里找到了足够的食物。 “城市动物”数量不断增加的一个关键因素是它们的适应能力。有证据表 明,城市浣熊比野生的同类更聪明,因为它们经常要解决一些难题,例如如何打 开垃圾箱和其他在野外找不到的容器。 一些动物甚至改变了它们的生活习惯以适 应它们的新家。虽然城市狐狸天生在晚上很活跃,但如果回报足够好的话,它们 会在白天出来。 它们的城市位置也意味着它们正在对垃圾中提供的多元文化的美 食产生兴趣,比如汉堡、羊肉串,甚至蒜蓉面包! 对于那些不适应的动物来说,城市可能是危险甚至致命的地方。由于无法区 分蓝天和玻璃,鸟儿以大约每小时 50 千米的速度撞向窗户。最近的研究估计, 仅在美国,每年就有 4 亿至 10 亿只鸟死于窗户撞击。令人震惊的是,这些撞死 的鸟约占美国鸟类总数的 10%。 一些物种比其他物种受到的影响更大。 这背后的 一个理论是,这些鸟得改变它们的迁徙路线,这些改变的迁徙路线会带它们飞过 有高层建筑的城市。 不管它们如何适应我们的城市生活方式, 重要的是我们要更好地了解甚至学 会赏识我们来自野外的邻居。只有这样,我们才能期待和谐地共享我们的城市栖 息地。不管这些物种进入我们城市的原因是什么,有一点是肯定的,因为这通常 是它们生存的一种手段,它们是可以和我们待在一起的。
