In this episode, meet the bold animals who dare to live within the developed worlds of humans. As the most successful and adaptable creature on the planet, man has spread to all ends of the globe. Wherever humans go, they alter the environment in ways that can spell disaster for some creatures and can provide food and water for others. Some wild animals are drawn in to live in the human world, but creatures that manage to thrive in a human environment still have to follow the rules of nature, hunting, defending themselves, and surviving as they would anywhere else.
