People come from all over the world to enjoy the state's diverse wildlife.
To the surprise of some people, wildlife can even be found in and around the urban areas of Oregon. The presence of wildlife in the cities is usually a delight to Oregon residents. The close proximity, however, of this wildlife sometimes causes problems. Most people agree that the family of skunks under the front porch or the squirrel in the fireplace can be upsetting. As cities grow and subdivisions impact wildlife habitat, wild animals are often displaced.
