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.

We had given serious thought into getting a few sheep to keep our lawn trimmed. But our city ordinances won't let us do it

It’s just slowly spinning with blacked out lambs on and around it. They’ll be fine they’re just counting sheep

The one running would sort of be in the same place, so maybe (s)he wouldn't get sick . The one going round and round might get sick though.

Oh my goodness. This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in a long time. Farmers, start building these for your lambies! They love it! ❤️

Loved that they were actually playing on it - may not have been on purpose - but they were having fun.

Our sheep are in fenced pens. We prefer the coyotes to be on the other side of the fence.

At least one of those has a tag in its ear. I think I'd be wondering where they are meant to be . And maybe calling animal society for advice.

Why capture it? He/she is a great incentive to stay home.
