Last night before going to be I saw a cockroach scuttling over the back of the sofa in my room. I know they are clean and harmless â?? they still give me the creeps. Otherwise Mumbai wildlife is a bit disappointing. No elephants have been spotted at all. Some (not many) cows, goats and cats. The most visible wildlife in the city are the dogs that sleep all day. These are medium sized shorthaired mongrels. More domestic pedigree dogs are walked on a leash.
The other common animals in the city are the ubiquitous crows, small with impressive beaks, they seem to be crowing everywhere in load sounds which demand attention. In general the animals are kindly ignored â?? not sure if this is kind but it beats the traditional cruelty.
