Grasshoppers hop and bison nap in the short and tall grasses of the prairies. Water habitats are extremely important to many types of wildlife. These habitats provide everything a rainbow trout or busy beaver could want. Most cities have grass, trees, cement, and buildings. There are many trees and bushes in cities, but they usually aren't very close together.
Buildings are good cover for many animals, including gray squirrels, pigeons, mice, and raccoons.
Even larger white-tailed deer find the things they need to survive in city habitat. Urban areas can make excellent homes for raccoons. In forests, raccoons live in old tree trunks and in hollow logs. They eat small animals such as mice and crayfish. When they live near towns or cities, raccoons change the way they live.
