    Cities: Nature's New Wild
    Humpback whales breach in New York’s Hudson River. Huge colonies of megabats have made Adelaide their home. African Penguins find sanctuary and safe places to nest in Cape Town. Meet the extraordinary wildlife living in the fastest changing habitat on the planet - our cities. Animals have adjusted surprisingly well to city living. Not only are they applying their natural-born skills to this urban environment, they’re also making amazing adaptations. Inspired by the Cities episode of Planet Earth II, this series explores our cities from a fresh perspective - through the eyes of the animals who live in them. Discover the wilder side of a world you think you know.
    Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of astounding, entertaining, thought-provoking and educational natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

      This clip greatly over stated the term rush hour. Simonstown as a small populastion and most trafic is North side of town by the naval base and the penguins are south side. So trafic is not heavy. All so not like there been any cases of them being run over by cars in large numbers. They not endangered due to the land but due to what is happining at sea.
