Nature Returns to Cities

#. Nature Returns to Cities

 

Everyone is worried about the coronavirus.

They are staying indoors.

So, cities have very few people.

Parks, streets, and plazas are empty.

Because of this, something interesting happened.

Many wild animals began coming into cities.

Deer entered subway stations.

Raccoons and boars walked around the streets.

Sheep got on playground rides.

Usually, wild animals avoid cities because they are full of people.

Now, there are many animal sightings.

Some animals come to find food.

Others come because they are curious.

@ Be careful

Animals like deer and sheep can look friendly.

But they are still wild animals.

So, we should be careful around them.

@ Clean Air

These days, the air is much cleaner, too.

That's because there are fewer moving cars.

Also, many factories are closed due to the coronavirus.
