1. Marloth Park. South Africa

Marloth Park is located near the Kruger National Park, which is full of wild animals, including lions, hippos and crocodiles. The city is unique because, despite the danger of living close to wildlife, residents aren’t allowed to build fences around their homes. The height of a single fence that separates the residents from the park is 1.2 meters. It was built more to keep people from invading to the territory of the park than to keep in it wild animals.

Wild animals often come to the territory of the city. Baboons run into the house through the window and steal food from the fridge, and giraffes and elephants blocking the road. Residents of the city were very surprised only when the lion attacked, killed and ate a thief who came out with the stolen property from the house. Lion left only a head and leg.
