Chicago Rodents Are Leveling Up!

Turns out, Chicago’s rodents are basically evolving to survive city life! Field Museum researchers found chipmunks are getting bigger but their teeth are shrinking (thanks to all the soft human food they’re munching on). Meanwhile, voles’ ear bones are changing—probably to deal with all the city noise. Wild, right? The big takeaway: feeding wildlife messes with their natural evolution, and not all animals adapt the same way. Maybe we should rethink how we share our city with these furry neighbors! #Science #UrbanWildlife #Chicago
