　A fox, being caught in a trap (陷井), was glad to flee by leaving his tail behind him; but upon coming into the world, he began to feel ashamed (耻辱) of losing his tail and almost wished he had died rather than come away without it. However, to make best of the bad matter, he called a meeting of the rest of the foxes, and proposed that all should follow his example. “You have no idea,” said he, “of the ease and comfort with which I now move about; I could never have believed it if I had not tried it myself; but really, when one comes to think it over, a tail is such an ugly, useless, unnecessary thing on us, that the only wonder is that, as foxes, we could have put up with it so long. I propose, therefore, my worthy brothers, that you all do according to the experience that I am most willing to tell you that all foxes from this day forward cut off their tails.” Upon this, one of the oldest stepped forward, and said, “I'd rather think, my friend, that you would not have advised us to part with our tails if there were any chance of getting your own again.”

One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world.
“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent￡750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.
For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
