Urban life is literally reshaping Chicago’s chipmunks and voles! Researchers found city chipmunks are getting bigger but have smaller teeth, likely because they’re eating more of our soft, human food. Meanwhile, voles’ inner ear bumps are shrinking, possibly to cope with city noise. These changes show how wildlife adapts to our fast-changing environment, but experts warn this might not last forever. It’s a reminder that each species responds differently, so conservation needs to be flexible. Have you noticed animals acting differently in your neighborhood? What changes have you seen? Let’s talk about how city life is affecting our wild neighbors! #Science #Chicago #UrbanWildlife
