Biologists and urban ecologists have been sounding the alarm. As climate change reshapes our world and cities continue to sprawl outward, wildlife is being squeezed. The green spaces that once served as natural habitats are disappearing under highways, housing developments, and office parks.
Left with nowhere to go, animals are adapting in the only way they can: by moving in.
Snakes, particularly grass snakes, are surprisingly resilient. They’re non-venomous and not aggressive, often feeding on insects, small rodents, or amphibians. They play an important role in maintaining ecological balance.
