The Social Life of Small Urban Forests

While we often capture groups of the same species—usually the mother and her offspring, whether it’s a fox and her kits, a raccoon or deer with fauns, we rarely observe interactions across species. Each seem to use urban spaces at different times; even as they walk the same routes. But here, a raccoon is just one second behind a deer; it rears up and peers at it before deciding to turn around. The deer does a double take at the raccoon, turning around to watch it disappear into the brush.
