This Photographer Captured Wild Animals Strolling Through Residential Neighborhoods In The United States (27 Pics)
Interview With Artist
Corey Arnold is a photographer who resides in White Salmon, Washington, located in the picturesque Columbia River Gorge. He has made a name for himself as a commercial fisherman and wildlife photographer. His work explores the relationship between humans and the natural world, with a focus on the Alaskan wilderness. Arnold has spent years documenting the world's fisheries, but his latest project, “Cities Gone Wild”, takes a look at how wild animals adapt and thrive in urban environments. Arnold's photographs capture the surprising resilience of animals like coyotes, black bears, and raccoons as they navigate the concrete jungle and coexist with humans.
“Cities Gone Wild” offers a fresh perspective on the wildlife that inhabits our cities. Arnold's photographs reveal a world of coyotes darting past towering skyscrapers, raccoons snacking on scraps in back alleys, and bears casually strolling through residential neighborhoods. In addition to capturing the attention of art lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, the series has also garnered critical acclaim. In fact, the project recently earned Corey Arnold first place in the Wildlife & Nature category at the 2023 Sony World Photography Awards (if you would like to see all the awarded photographs, you can click here to see Bored Panda's post about it).

In New England, if you see coyotes, you won't see foxes, and vice versa. Same with squirrels and chipmunks. Their food sources are too similar for both populations to be supported in a limited area.

Technically, we invade the space of these animals. I am sorry for this bear that feeds on human waste products.

All of these pictures make me sad. Capitalism can be 100% attributed to this if photos come from US. Where I live, even a 2x2 square of grass will be developed.

These people are just setting up the bears to be killed later due to becoming habituated to getting food from people.

My God what are these folks thinking? This wild animal can and just might kill you. Not worth the interaction

I couldn’t go through all of these. I got so very sad and angry. Adapt ? No. Cope if they can. We did this to them. We keep doing this to them. And we kill some of them for it. A new subdivision was built in a huge field near town. No backyard fences yet. A mom let her kids go out to play in the “backyard” and when she was looking out the window to check on them, she saw a cougar far off near the trees deciding on lunch. It was such big news, even here. News? Shouldn’t have been surprising at all. What do you expect? We have put the subdivision right in their hunting territory. He’s just doing what he’s always done there. Hunting. And considering the food source is gone, he’s rather hungry. Don’t blame the cougar, blame us. No, the kids were not lunch. And they just keep building here. Whenever I see it, I get so sad and angry. Our poor animals.

If it makes you feel any better the coyotes that moved back into San Francisco after being chased out 100 years ago are respected and almost everyone gives them their space. I personally appreciate their impact on the rat population. A few of these pictures are of them.

All these pictures have me thinking about the interactions between animals and homeless humans. Also, so many of these animals looked starved or diseased. Made me wonder how many of them are being killed by animal control officials, etc.
