The wild animals within the cities.
Matching
One thing crucial to the increasing number of “urban animals” is their ability to adapt.
People often wonder about the reasons behind this mass urban migration.
For those animals that don’t adapt, the city can be a dangerous or even deadly place.
Yet, for its newest and wildest inhabitants, a city can offer many benefits.

What is the main purpose of this paragraph?
1 The crime took place in a seaside suburb of Cape Town.
Spotting the car with its window left open, the greedy
thief didn’t hesitate. Within seconds, he had reached
inside and run away with a bag of shopping. No
matter how many crimes he committed, the police were
powerless to arrest him. You see, this was no ordinary
criminal: it was a chacma baboon. Once almost unheard
of, scenes like this one in Cape Town are now common
all over the world. With foxes in London, mountain lions
in San Francisco and wild pigs in Hong Kong, it is almost
as if our cities are being taken over by wild animals.
