Animals aren’t under the “stay-at-home” order

There is a lot of bad news surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, there is some good news when it comes to nature. Wild animals are thriving due to more people staying at home, reclaiming their surrounding less-populated environments.

There is more wildlife returning to areas that they once considered home before development and welcoming more wildlife to return. With more people online from home, more are celebrating the return of wildlife through videos and photos on social media.
