Probably won't last a week
Without us.
there's probably no niche
For the smaller dogs.
Dogs are very competitive
And when you have wolves,
They displace coyotes,
Coyotes displace foxes,
And we would assume
Among domestic dogs.
in fact,
Many of the unique features
That has been bred into dogs
Over the years
Will now become major handicaps
In the fight for survival.
there are dog
I think the dogs
Or long faces, I think,
That they're all doomed.
You know, they're not
Going to move well,
They're not going to be able
To search and explore.
I think that the kind of
The middle of the spectrum,
The kind of average dog,
Have the best chances in this.
I think that they will survive
In the long haul,
But it's not going to be pretty.
as the surviving dogs
Struggle to find
Their new niche,
Household pests
Are slowly beginning to notice
Our absence.
Little creatures,
Rats and house mice,
They would seem to be able
Are surprisingly quite dependent
On our food supplies.
rats and mice
Are usually termed
"commensally rodents," which means
That term means literally
Sharing the table.
They're very dependent
On people.
And Norway rat
Are great examples of animals?
That would do less well
In the absence of people.
in the initial weeks
After people are gone,
They will raid pantries
In homes, in grocery shelves
In stores.
After eating through
These food supplies,
They will struggle to survive
On things like cardboard, cloth,
Or glue.
I think that if a city
Was abandoned,
The rats would have to go back
An honest living
Means to go back to the wild
And compete for resources there.
eventually, these rodents
Will abandon homes
And buildings,
Which will make them?
Easy pickings for predators.
Although, rats and mice
In the future,
Their numbers
Will be greatly diminished.
After six months
Into a life after people,
Urban areas
For the wild.
Very quickly in the absence
Of humans
Because we suppress them,
We create conditions
That either work against them,
Or we deliberately go out,
They would come back
Very quickly.
smaller predators
Like coyotes and bobcats
Always survive on the fringe
Of human populations.
They are the first to colonize
Our abandoned neighborhoods.
Larger carnivores
Will have to wait longer
For the habitat
To recover enough
But soon enough, they, too,
