What animal is best to live in cities?
Of all the animals that can live in cities what type do the best. This includes humans, cats, dogs, birds, any animal.
I think cats are the best at it. They are top of the food chain in the ecosystem and they can fit anywhere. My first thought was birds, but hten I realized cats can do almost as much as birds in additition to being able to eat them.

Humans. And horses. You never see a dead horse in the city, do you?

Re: What animal is best to live in cities?
Not even close. I cant back this up with any scientific fact (nobody here can I wouldnt think) BUT I would be willing to bet that of you looked at two stats that I think are real importnat for who lives "the best" youd see humans come out way ahead.
1. Birht survival rate/infant mortality rate - I cna almsot guarantee that more cockroaches die in the immediate afetramth of birth and during early development than humans in any major city (I live in DC). 2. Standard deviation on life expectancy. Obivously humans naturally live longer than roaches so thats not an importnat point. However, I would be willing to bet that more humans get close to the avg. life expectancy than roaches do. Most humans die in old age, where as I would be willing to bet that you see a relatively flat curve for the death-age of roaches. There is a biological term for this but I cant remember it.
