From scorpions to peacocks: the species thriving in London's hidden microclimates

London's wildlife is like a crazy aunt - it's always surprising you! I mean, scorpions living in walls? Yeah, that's just how the city works now 🤯. But seriously, it's amazing to see all these different species thriving in such unexpected places. I remember when my little niece was fascinated by the red-eared terrapins in our pond - who knew they could live for 40 years or more? 🐢

The thing is, the city's weirdness actually works in their favor. The Thames has come a long way since it was all polluted and stuff. It's now like this vibrant ecosystem that's teeming with life. And those peregrine falcons are just so cool - swooping around streetlights at night? 💨

It's also interesting to see how urban wildlife adapts to the city's rhythms. Like, otters playing in the water during the day instead of nighttime? It's like they're saying, 'Hey, humans, we can play too!' 🐾

Anyway, London's got this crazy cool vibe when it comes to wildlife, and I'm all for embracing that weirdness 😊.
