When the Corona virus prevents people from leaving their homes, the animals shiver freely and cheerfully. There are goats alone in the British county of Wales, and coyote wolves (a species of American prairie wolf) play in the streets of the American city of San Francisco, and mice of large numbers are found everywhere.
A resident of Llandudno, a coastal city in Wales, says he saw a herd of wild Kashmiri goats with fine silky white hair running fast in the deserted streets of the town in search of food until their stomachs were filled, including those that climbed the walls of buildings without shame as they used to if they saw A human being.
The author of this report in the "New York Times" Sandra Garcia pointed out that the closure of commercial activities in towns and cities provided a rare opportunity for their inhabitants to know what these animals do, which is usually kept away from people when they are in their mood.
In San Francisco, in the United States, city residents were forced to exercise social separation for a period of two weeks, and they would not leave their homes except for shopping, going to pharmacies or performing other necessary tasks. And the rest of the time I left the streets to the wolves of the coyotes, who seemed to venture more to enter the city with little movement of cars, as if the mouthpiece of her condition wondered where did everyone go?
The social insect at the National Pest Management Association Jim Friedrichs says that the social divergence has not increased the numbers of wild animals, but it seems that it has changed their behavior in the search for new food sources, "and what we are seeing is their search for food in places where they did not exist before, and the part of the equation The missing now is the people. "
What was the imposition of a complete closure on the state of Louisiana, which caused the closure of restaurants, until the mice came out of their hideouts in New Orleans as if wondering where the usual crowds and their garbage that filled the French Quarter?
On this phenomenon, Claudia Regel, Executive Director of the Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Council commented, "The animals are opportunistic and feed on garbage, and restaurants produce a lot of them, and now many of them are gone."
Dr. Fredericks considered this moment of despair a rodent an opportunity for societies trying to control pests where rats can be lured with traps and baits.
