While the coronavirus lockdown has been restrictive for humans, it has given wildlife across the globe the confidence to venture into a town or city without any deterrence. A video shared by Indian Forest Officer Susanta Nanda shows a herd of Kashmiri goats taking over the Welsh coastal town of Llandudno amid lockdown. According to reports, the goats have never ventured this far into the town previously and are only seen during the migration period or when bad weather strikes the region.

Coronavirus outbreak
COVID-19 has claimed more than 42,500 lives across the world and has infected more than 8,76,300 people globally since it first broke out in December 2019. China was the most affected country until last week before Italy and Spain surpassed it to record the most number of deaths anywhere in the world due to COVID-19. The United States and France are on the verge of overtaking China in terms of the number of deaths recorded in these countries. The virus is believed to have originated from a seafood market in China's Wuhan city, the epicentre of the disease, where animals were reportedly being traded illegally.
