Animals Invade Cities As People Quarantine Themselves At Home (New Pics)
1.2Mviews
As we've seen already, animals seem to be pouring into the city streets as people retreat to their shelters amidst the COVID-19 lockdown. And while at first it was only deer, boars, horses, and sheep taking over the civilized world, now it seems like countless others have joined the cause all around the world. And this time, even dangerous predators like bears, mountain lions, and wild pumas are prowling in the streets.
We reached out to one man who witnessed a gator casually strolling in Myrtle Beach in broad daylight to get a first-hand report of the events. "When I first saw the gator, I didn’t think it was real. I thought somebody was playing a practical joke on me," Clifford Sosis told Bored Panda. "I like to take dangerous hikes in interesting places with my dog Daisy, hikes where I might be bitten by snakes and gators," the man explained and also added that recently, his expeditions have grown fewer and fewer since the birth of his son.
Clifford is a philosophy lecturer at Coastal Carolina University who runs a website featuring autobiographical interviews with philosophers.
"On the day I took the gator video, I went to Barefoot Landing because I was trying to avoid danger! Shortly after I took this video, I was watching the gator, and a security guard, the only other person in Barefoot Landing at the time, didn’t see it and almost ran into it," Sosis revealed. "When I told him to watch his step, he was shocked! He said he thought there were no longer gators in the area." The man also added that some people on the internet have reported seeing gators in the area as well. "I’ve been living in Myrtle Beach for 6 years and I’ve never seen a gator in Barefoot Landing. Definitely not in the parking lot!" Sosis concluded.

The headline is all wrong. It was us who invaded their territory.
Since humans evolved on earth and are not an alien species that is not true, we are just a very successful species. Many people love to bath in the guilt but that isn't helping anybody. If you feel so guilty that you see your species (which mans yourself) as an invader get your butt up and do something for a change. You don't need to save the world you just need to change yourself then you are a good example that others can look up to, respect and follow. And that is how things are changed for the better. The thing is: it's so much easier to sit depressed of how bad things are on the couch than to stand up and change your life for something better because that requires effort. Chimps by the way act not different than humans, only difference is they didn't develop technology.
It is true that humans invaded their homes by deforestation and pollution. No other species have affected other species' well beings as much as humans have did so far. Hence we are a species who can be successful, but not successful.
I would disagree; no other animal on earth practices totalitarian agriculture or embarks on deliberate and knowing attempts to drive other species to extinction. Ants may farm aphids, but they don't destroy every insect in their territory that isn't an aphid. Lions may drive hyenas from their territory, but they don't attempt to exterminate them en masse. Humans have been living and shaping the world around us for thousands of years, but it's the advent of totalitarian agriculture that seeks to convert a diversity of biomass into a relatively small number of species. For every plant driven to extinction we have monoculture fields of soy/wheat/corn. For every wolf shot by ranchers we have hundreds of cows. Sure, maybe I'm just a "dirty hippie/commie/Libtard/cuck" but lost diversity is dangerous; it sets up a house of cards so that a single disease or pest can wipe out vast sections of life. Then what do we replace them with? We're losing a staggering amount of insects, agriculture is f
Lighter In Park Jung Yeon's Hand - have to agree with you on this one. How many millennia have people been around, and didn't totally mess up every ecosystem we were in. And we were in every ecosystem. Humans didn't start to take over until the Industrial Revolution. Before that, we pretty much lived within our environment. Humans have put everything out of BALANCE.
The two are not exclusive, you have to face what you are and what you do to your environment to truly be able to change... until you say you are good or it's someone else's fault, or that you are just a very successful specie, you'll never change. Facing yourself, being upset and depressed is the first step...
Thank you! All this species oriented racism was getting boring.
Adina, unfortunately, that's exactly what "successful" people do, and they are not willing to change.
I don't believe that MANY people feel guilty, Mathias, many people are ignorant and arrogant; if they aren't confident (because of their human superiority, or because they believe that God loves them and will always save them) they are hopeful, it's easy to sell hope. But hope without action is an excuse.
You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.
Thank you for this comment.
No. We are an alien species dropped off on this planet as seedlings and eventually evolved into our current state. We invade and destroy every territory on earth.
Lighter In Park Jung Yeon's Hand - that is not true. When algae evolved into producing oxygen it killed about 2/3 of all life on earth in a very short time it was the biggest mass extinction the planet has ever seen and changed life on earth and earth itself like nothing that came after it. We are very, very far away from that.
Hey Lighter In Park Jung Yeon's Hand: I'd like to introduce you to the lowly beaver...
Not that long ago we lived much closer to the natural world. I'm grateful the other animals are still there, and still willing to move closer to us if it is safe for them to do so.
Amen.
We are children of mother nature too. Don't be so dramatic. Spread love, not misery.
I like your short explanation more than my long one, you're doing good with and at spreading love :)
Animals and humans have been coexisting for thousands of years. I really hate inaccurate comments such as this.
Yeah let’s all go back to where we came from?
Dad's nuts?
Good idea.
Africa?
👍
And now we know what would happen if human population suddenly greatly decreased or disappeared: 1) pollution reduced to very low levels within weeks; 2) animals reclaiming their space, also within weeks.
3) Nuclear explosions from the suddenly abandoned reactors, with no one to turn them off safely and properly.
Okay, let's agree we will turn them off first then... unless something catastrophic stops us. If we were to know we were dying out we should do all we can for any life that remains.
The only threat to avoid is a lot of people socializing without proper protection from that virus. As long as government hires people to take care of that, while also equipping them with safety suits or uniforms, it isn't anything impossible. (it probably gives them uniforms as it's work related to a nuclear reactor). It's a virus, not a zombie apocalypse. Government can take care of at least that much.
This pandemic did not have to happened; doing the same thing which brought us epidemics before, over and over again, and hoping that it'll never happen again is irresponsible, it's dumb. Since in democracies, governments do what their constituencies want them to do.....we all are to blame. It's time to think about the next deadly virus !!! Every single human bears the responsibility - it's time to change the ways we eat, it's time to change the ways we live. - "There are people who think that the government will take care of them. And then there are people who think."
Reduction in human population and significant decrease of consumption of animal protein are our only hope.
So humans will keep destroying earth a long while even after we disappear... good to know...

4)A lot of animals in farms, houses and a lot more will die of starvation. 5)Nature will be pulluted from all the abandoned industries and from all the waste not properly buried, recycled or disposed.
I think that humanity will destroy all forms of life first.
It would be great to have some semblance of this everyday, virus or no virus. Realistically we could, a world wide commitment to stay home a bigger percentage of our time. Perhaps too simple but it would still be great!
