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.

Lol since the celebrities are in lock down,tmz is now reporting on the wild life. I guess they still have to come up with click baites.
I'd rather watch squirrels, or other wildlife. They're much more interesting, and honest, than any celebrity.

This person must have never been outside in the US before. Squires are everywhere!
Since when is that unusual? I remember squirrels having no fear on my very busy University campus, years ago. I see them pretty much daily in my Northern California neighborhood.
How interesting. I myself have never seen a squirrel in the wild before. Only in zoos
Ah - you speak my language. Sarcasm is my medium.

Like tiny, fat, fluffy tailed cows. Best days of their life.

I don't understand. How is it strange to have hundreds of squirrels in a park? That's completely normal where I'm from... (Canada) But this lady's freaking out, like she's never seen them before??
Live near Santa Monica (CA), can confirm this is VERY abnormal (for shelli & dianna) -- I wouldn't go near them, squirrels in big numbers can get antsy and hungry like monkeys in asia.... GANG WARS. Also they're ballsy and will absolutely hop on top of you.
Squirrel gang wars where they hop all over me? You're just making this sound sweeter to my ears!

Do they not normally have squirrels living in Santa Monica parks? This footage looks like Boston Common every single day.
A picnic for squirrels, they must have been thrilled, no threats !!!
Those squirrels are always there they are just not hiding since there aren't so many humans around.
They are probably really hungry. There aren't people dropping bits of their snacks all over the park any more.

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.

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.

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!
"Animals Invade Cities As People Quarantine Themselves At Home" ? More like animals come out of hiding after humans drove them out of their own space. Kind of like that series "After People". How animals and the Earth go back to normal when we take a back seat.
How wonderful to have all these animals free roaming, as it should be.
Just hope these animals can return safely to the wild before humans come out..
And all these dickheads worried about "Saving the Planet" and all they had to do was stay home and shut up.
The little buggers will get a big shock when this is all over and millions of humans suddenly appear all around them. "Busted!"
Maybe us humans can live in a glass domed city, with controlled vegetation, temp, air, and all that and let the nani-mals live out their lives!
Dogs: Jeez, I thought they'd never leave. Maybe we should have a small refuge area for what's left. Cats: F@#k em.
Do think we human beings as the predominant mammalian species need to do more to make this earth more friendly for the animals we share it with. "Healthier nature" means all living creatures are healthier... including us.
Humans need to reset their relationship with natural world and rethink their place in it. If we don't take care of nature, it will take care of us. We must treat our planet and all its inhabitants with respect for its sake....and ours. Why isn't it happening???

These are scenes eerily similar to those described in the early episodes of “Life After People.” The Earth is surprisingly resilient.
"even dangerous predators like bears, mountain lions, and wild pumas are prowling in the streets." No, the bears and mountain lions (which are the same animal as "wild pumas") are out and about because the dangerous predators are staying inside.
These animals are in for a massive disappointment in a few weeks/months. :-7
I'd love to know what they're all thinking. Also, I worry about what will happen when we all come our homes...to them, and to us.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE PICS MADE MY DAY , THE BEST PICTURES I HAVE SEEN ALL YEAR . MAKES YOU THINK JUST HOW GREEDY HUMANS ARE , WE HAVE GOT TO PROTECT OUR WILD LIFE ( WHICH IS NOT BEING DONE AT ALL ANYMORE ) HERE IN TEXAS ITS THE WORST .
It didn't take long for these fake pictures to make their rounds on the internet.... Such as the civet, which was actually spotted in 2016. Conservationists are asking us to not believe this fake news, it's hurting their efforts. Come on, it would take years, even decades, for some of these animals to recover from the damage we have inflicted upon them. Use your brain and stop believing things just because you want to due to a guilty conscience.
This should actually be called Animals taking back what we took from them. WERE the invaders
Depending on where you live, there's really nothing unusual about any of these. Where I live, it's quite common to see deer, coyote, javalina, and foxes. Have been told there's cougars about but haven't seen them myself. Have seen bears reported on local news.
The animals were here first. They're very grateful we squatters have disappeared.
Before you downvote or clapback? Humans arrived in the Americas *last* of any continent. So, yeah, here the animasl *were* first.

This is the way it should be anyway. Let nature do what it wants, we're the ones who should move out of their territory.
To bad poaching is increasing as well. Many endangered animals are shot in the wild during the lockdowns.
The article has mountain lions and 'wild pumas' in the description. Anyway that the author can fix this as they are the same species. It depends on the territory. Mountain lions, cougars and pumas are the same cat.
The virus is extremely sad, however, we will learn much from the experience, to know or to see the cleaner air, and our water, much less pollution for the animals and us, I think the world slowing down, after the virus would be positive , I would love to see , no shopping on Sundays, perhaps not realistic, but there is not enough family time !!!
Think about this. The virus started in China. They lied and hid whats going on with it. They could have contained it. They let it spread hoping it would cripple the American economy and America will come crawling to them to borrow even more money to pay for all of the stimulus bills that'll be passed. Conspiracy? It's the perfect plan for world domination!
SO many things wrong with this statement but the US had some military and US civilians in Wuhan when the virus started, had it started earlier don't you think your own people would have known/caught it/reported it sooner??? The fact that you think everything about this is aimed at just the US economy is.... so American!
