Some animals can live with people in cities. Animals like house mice need people and their homes to live. They stay warm in winter because of our houses. Other animals just get used to living around people and our parks and gardens. But only a few of these animals are the ones that were there before the city. Many come from other places. Animals in cities can be very different. Some birds do well because they have big brains. Bugs, spiders, snails, worms, and some lizards also live well in cities. These animals find food and places to live near people. Animals from hot places and very cold places come to cities too. For example, monkeys come to cities where it is hot, and polar bears where it is very cold.

Sometimes people and wild animals do not get along. This can cause problems for people and animals. People might lose food or have their things broken. Animals might lose their homes or get hurt. There are more of these problems now because there are more people and different ways of using land. People want to fix these problems. They want to make sure animals and people are safe and have enough to eat. They try different ways to do this. Some ways are old, and some are new. They use science and talk to people to find out the best things to do. There are special rules to help people and animals live together. These rules show the best ways to stop problems. They help people understand animals and how to live with them without trouble.

Pandas are special bears from China. They are black and white. Pandas are big and round. There are two kinds of pandas. The big ones are called "giant pandas." They are bigger than other pandas. Giant pandas weigh about as much as a big dog. They are also as long as a big table. Boys are usually bigger than girls. Pandas have fur that is white. They have black around their eyes, ears, legs, and shoulders. They also have a thumb. This helps them hold their food, which is bamboo. Pandas eat a lot of bamboo. They can eat other things, but they like bamboo best. They live in the mountains. They live very high up where it is cold. Pandas usually live alone. They come together when they want to have babies. Baby pandas stay with their mom for a long time. Sometimes big cats can be dangerous to pandas. But pandas can live for many years. The oldest panda lived to be 38. There are not many pandas left in the wild. People are trying to help them. Some pandas live in zoos. People are working to keep pandas safe and make more pandas.
