Racoon 狸

I saw a racoon today while we were walking. He was picking the garbage in the parking lot of Ericsson. I was happy to see the racoon because we see animals less and less due to construction in the city. A few years ago, we saw Opossum in our old appartment. Even though San Diego is a small big city with a million people, we are losing a lot of trees and nature where animals used to live. Since we moved, we see some bunny rabbits around our place. I am worried that they might have to move because of a lot of constructions around here. I hope they keep living here or protect nature around here.

今日、散歩中に狸を見た。サンディエゴはまだ小さな大都市って感じだけれど（よく昔名古屋が大田舎と聞いたことがあるが、そんな感じかな。サンディエゴは一応人口１．２百万です。）、最近大きくなっているので、たくさんビル、道路そして家を建てるために自然が破壊され、工事現場かすごく多いです。そんな中、狸を見るのは嬉しく感じる。まだサンディエゴもL.A.ほどは自然が破壊されていないのかなと。この辺ではよくウサギも見る。あーちゃんは鹿も見たらしいけど。最近道路を建築中だけど、ウサギさん達や鹿さんたちの棲み家が守られてるといいな。
