The title of the show is ANIMALS OF THE FUTURE. All wild and exotic animals on our planet are under threat of extinction because of the loss of habitat due to pollution, the warming of the earth's environment, and human population growth. Fragile ecosystems are in serious peril all over the world and will pay a heavy price from the increased storms, floods, and coastal erosion that global warming will produce. What are the critters that will survive the coming catastrophe? They will be the ones that are able to live with or near humans, can live in an urban or semi-urban environment, and will use human garbage as food. These are the "Animals of the Future". They include raccoon, opossum, rats, roaches, crows, owl, coyotes, squirrels, sparrows, pigeons, deer, seagulls, lizards, rabbits, skunk, chipmunks, mice, feral cats, stray dogs, and many other species. The pieces in this show will highlight and tribute these overlooked noble survivors that live sometimes literally in our own backyards.
