City Animals

City animals are mice, rats, birds and domesticated pets for the most part. Beavers, elk and black bears are not likely to be the next door neighbours of Chip and Dale unless the boys are on vacation. City animals are tough, well-connected to humanity and well-trained for battle. Players recruit animals to build an empire, promote leaders, seek allies, buy equipment, seize locations, and gain the favour of humanity. City animals are fantastic teachers because they’re experts at surviving in the wild — even when the wild is an urban environment. When I gathered acorns with friends in the wilderness skills school Trackers , I was surprised by how tedious it can be to crack the shells and get to the eating.

City animals are different in the fact that if they do go out they'll travel around a bit but will always come home in the end. So in today's society a dog doesn't have to hunt for its food or worry about the next level of the food chain. City animals are much cagier and more street smart. Recently in a heavy rain I slowly drove along for four block watching a drenched possum run from one storm drain to the next, poking his head in, seeing the running water, and moving unerringly to the next drain looking for a dry place. City animals are tough and maintain close ties with humanity. Suburb animals are not the largest but they are cunning.

City animals are regularly known to have a wide assortment of fur colors. City animals are scavengers. Every day on my way to work there is a single house with large crowds of birds (crows, pigeons), squirrels and the occasional abandoned pet. City animals are evil. It is way too violent for kids.
