Fallow deer in London April 4, 2020 - Javier Garcia / REX / SIPA

Confinement definitely holds great surprises for us. Two fallow deer walked in a deserted street in Boissy-Saint-Léger, in the Parisian suburbs. They were immortalized in a video posted on social media on Sunday.

"These two deer belong to the domain of the Château du Piple which has a hundred," said the mayor of the town, Régis Charbonnier.

"It's quite exceptional! "

According to the city councilor, it is "not uncommon to see them cross the county at night but never in the middle of the day and in the center of the city. It is quite exceptional! " Filmed on Sunday morning by a resident of the city, the video, broadcast on the social network Twitter, recorded, at the end of the day, nearly half a million views. It has also been shared several thousand times.

The two deer returned to the area at the end of the day without causing any problems, according to Régis Charbonnier. With the measures related to containment due to the Covid-19 epidemic, the human presence on the streets has dropped drastically, allowing wild animals to return to these urban areas.

Also in Val-de-Marne, videos broadcast on Friday evening showed the presence of a zebra and ponies in the municipalities of Champigny and Chennevières.
