Wildlife
Many people think that London hasn't got any wildlife because it's abig city. Well, that isn't true. There are 14 species of bat in the UK, andyou can find 9 of them in London - along the River Thames, flyingthrough parks, and living in holes in old trees. Bats fly at night becausethey have a special ability-they use radar. This means they navigatemore efficiently in the dark than other animals.
Foxes are also very common in London. They look like small, brown dogs, but they canhear better than any dog. They can hear the sound of an earthworm moving under the soil.Earthworms and small animals are their main food. Foxes can see better in the dark thanmost other animals - their eyes are specially adapted - so you usually see them in theevening or at night.
Sharks live in all parts of the world. There are 250 differentsharks. All sharks eat meat.The white shark isn't very nice. It is very big - 6 metres long.

It eats food from the shark and swims withthe shark.
