“It is remarkable how many creatures live wild and free though secret in the woods, and still sustain themselves in the neighborhood of towns, suspected by hunters only."
This is still true. I used to see raccoons strolling down along the sidewalk very late at night outside my house in Germantown. Not so many years ago, on my way to work one morning, I saw one intreeoutside City Hall. And once, while walking to Chinatown for lunch, I saw a dead opossum on Vine Street. I even once encountered -- again, very late at night -- a pack of wild dogs.
