đł Yesterday, I was walking through the city, glued to my phone, when something on the sidewalk caught my eye. It looked like a ragâor maybe an old hose. I almost kept walking⌠but something made me stop.
As I stepped closer, my heart droppedâit was a small grass snake, crushed and lifeless.
No one else noticed. Just another forgotten life under the cityâs rush.
But that image stuck with me. Lately, people have been spotting snakes in odd placesâbalconies, vents, even inside homes. Experts say itâs no coincidence. Climate change and urban sprawl are forcing wildlife into unfamiliar spaces.
That little snake was more than roadkill. It was a quiet warning: nature is being pushed to its limitsâand itâs showing up right at our feet.
