Dolphins that once sought out fish in the wild now go up to boats open-mouthed, begging for food. Though alligators are efficient predators in the Everglades, they leap out of the water to chase hooked fish on fishermen's rods. Across the country, animals have become increasingly accustomed to human presence, often resulting in a change of behavior. Handouts of food to animals are detrimental to their survival.

Traffic policewoman Maria Luisa Calderon requested a cab driver to move along as he was taking his time picking up a passenger in heavy traffic. His reaction: he turned on his high beams and floored the accelerator, slamming her on the ground, ripping her face and ankle as he raced off. This is a typical scene of a macho backlash on Lima's street as women have replaced most male traffic-officers. This was done in the late 1990's in an effort to give law enforcement a gentler face.
