...some interesting and potentially positive things may be happening in our communities, worldwide:
Emboldened wild animals venture into locked-down cities worldwide

Yes, it is; but hopefully they will soon see that that is not the optimum environment and be able to walk on through to sources of sustenance.I've been in Nara deer park. Vendng machines sell little packets of food to feed to the deer. They are so tame they'll try to pull a food packet out of your pocket.
No tourists. No packets of deer food. Hungry deer coming into town looking for food.
Difficult to see this as positive.
That's very unlikely I'm afraid. Nara Park is in the center of the city for one thing and these are animals that have been fed by people for years. It's like expecting a colony of tame outdoor cats to suddenly move away from their home and learn how to hunt for themselves because their caretakers have disappeared.Yes, it is; but hopefully they will soon see that that is not the optimum environment and be able to walk on through to sources of sustenance.
I'm pretty much inclined to agree with this since for years we had foxes, possums, groundhogs, raccoons and other such wildlife. We have wild turkey, barred owls, deer and I live in a suburban area. Last year armadillo was spotted in regions of St Louis.It may be too that since people are home more, and observing their surroundings more, there are more animals being spotted that have always been there. I am at least a mile from sparsely populated areas and live on a busy street and a block from a hospital and near a busy dairy, and have raccoons, herds of deer, a fox at times, possums, turkeys, and even quail come in at night almost every night. We have lived in many houses in large towns and have always had wildlife come in to feed on my cat food. Right in the middle of town. The deer destroyed a lot of my garden, and the raccoons are destructive too. And the moles!
Since my feral has been getting beat up so much I bring in the food every night now. It was ridiculous how much they were eating!
