Human Planet - Series 1 Ep. 8 - Cities: Surviving the Urban Jungle

Episode Info

Synopsis

The final episode looks at the one environment that's been made by us for us - the city. Over half of the world's population now lives in the urban jungle. The city is built to keep untamed nature out - but nature can't be pushed away. From bed bugs sucking our blood at night to rats in our restaurants, many animals have adapted to a life with us.
