Percent completeBy helping us to identify animals in photos, you are playing a critical role in our research that aims to understand how wildlife live in cities, and how we can best conserve and coexist with wildlife in our increasingly urban planet.
Chicago Wildlife WatchTo find out which animals live in Chicago, we’ve collected more than 1 million photos of wildlife from the Loop to the burbs. To ID them, though, we need your help! Chicago Wildlife Watch, developed by Lincoln Park Zoo and the Adler Planetarium, lets everyone help us understand how animals—from coyotes to chipmunks—share this great city.
