Discover surprising stories of adaptation, intelligence, and coexistence from cities around the world.Featured on the Globe and Mail's Best New Books of Summer 2026, author and renowned Canadian epidemiologist, Dan Werb, explores the hidden lives of wild animals who've found ingenious ways to survive in urban communities in his book Our Wild Familiars.
In Our Wild Familiars, Dan explores the intertwined relationship between humans and the urban wildlife who live alongside us. The most obvious and resonant example is raccoons in downtown Toronto but he also looks at bats, coyotes, and even marine life and tigers. This is definitely not a dry, scientific tome. Dan is a wonderful storyteller who takes us in-depth to urban locations around the world to illuminate how the behaviour of wild animals affects our daily living and ours, theirs.
