Question

A baboon

One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver (溫哥華) in Canada. It found some food outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. The police took it to the mountains outside the city.

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in South Africa, baboons come into cities when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees. They even go into houses and take food from fridges! The city can be dangerous for baboons. Sometimes, cars and buses kill them. Our food is bad for their 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, vegetables and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they walk in the street. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water. Other people do not like the pigs and they want the police to stop them coming into the city.

In Moscow (莫斯科) in Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs. The dogs live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people in Moscow like the dogs. They give them food and water. Some people make small houses for the dogs in their gardens and this helps the dogs in winter.
