Since the United States has issued shelter-in-place orders across the country, wildlife has slowly been taking over the once busy streets, parks and beaches. The same has been happening all across the world.
All areas of the country from Florida to Colorado are seeing surges in animal traffic. Different parts of the world from the USA to China are seeing similar trends.
It appears that humans staying indoors has encouraged our animal counterparts to take back the outdoors which was once their free domain to roam.
This is just one more part of the effects of the coronavirus disease that we will eventually have to deal with. As public spaces become abandoned and lose their daily function, nature will take its course.
