About the habitat: Urban (Human Settlements)
Urban habitats are areas dominated by human settlements, including cities, towns, suburbs, and associated infrastructure. These environments are shaped by buildings, roads, artificial lighting, and altered landscapes, creating unique conditions for wildlife.Despite heavy human influence, urban habitats support a surprising range of animals, particularly adaptable species such as birds, mammals, insects, and reptiles. Urban wildlife plays an important role in ecosystem services, coexistence dynamics, and the study of adaptation to human-altered environments.
