Peacocks stroll the streets of Ronda, Spain. A gang of goats wander in north Wales. As billions of people stay indoors to slow the spread of the coronavirus, animals are taking over the empty streets.
As people across across the world remain indoors to slow the spread of the coronavirus, animals are taking over the empty streets.
While some animals are curiously wandering or enjoying the quiet, others are going hungry because tourists aren't handing out treats. Human presence would typically keep such wildlife from roaming. But billions of people are inside, socially isolating themselves under the direction of health and government officials. Businesses and restaurants are shuttered and the once bustling streets and tourist havens are silent.
