Wild animals venture on streets as most countries under lockdown due to COVID-19; watch

With several countries under lockdown and movement restrictions due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, reports of wildlife animals venturing out on streets have surfaced. Animals around the world, deers, nilgais, turkeys, and Malabar civet, are exploring human colonies and empty roads which they often avoid due to traffic and perceived threat from the human population.

Malabar civet, which is listed as critically endangered species on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list, was spotted on the roads of Kozhikode during the lockdown.
