Which wild animal gets spotted more in your city than others? Here’s the list
In San Francisco, it’s the coyote. In Oakland, the brown rat. And in San Jose, the wild boar. These are just a few of the most “unusually common” mammals spotted across different Bay Area cities, according to the Chronicle’s analysis of data from iNaturalist , a social network that allows naturalists and amateur “citizen scientists” to identify and map species across the world. To come up with the most unusually common animals observed in each city, The Chronicle downloaded more than 500,000 individual iNaturalist sightings made in the Bay Area over the past three years. We defined whether a species was unusually common by looking at its sightings as a share of all sightings of its taxon (i.e. mammals or birds) in each city, and how that compared to the share of sightings of that species in the Bay Area as a whole. For example, coyotes represent just under 1% of all mammal observations across the bay, but 3% of all San Francisco observations. We only included species that were … [Read more...] about Which wild animal gets spotted more in your city than others? Here’s the list

IF all you want from your holiday is some winter sun and cheap deals, then there is one destination perfect for Brits. With hot weather, short flights and loads of package holidays - here is the destination you need to visit now. Why Sharm el Sheikh? Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt was once one of the most popular holiday destinations for Brits until 2015, when a terror attack on a Russian passenger plane killed all 224 onboard.
