Show what lives in the urban jungle with our model!
Urban environments such as residential and industrial areas, roads, railways and undeveloped wastelands are home to many species of plants and animals we tend to overlook. But these areas are teeming with life that thrives in plain sight!
Our model shows how animals and plants are adapted to survive here, their interactions and how they depend upon one another for survival. Great to compare with our other ecosystem models!
