Have you seen animals in odd places since social distancing took effect?
We want to see your wildlife photos.

New England residents have been taking social distancing precautions seriously and emptying areas that are normally bustling with people. The intended effect is to slow the spread of the coronavirus, but the sudden emptiness is having some unplanned impacts as well. For instance, turkeys on Huntington Avenue.
With the sudden lack of people due to stay-at-home advisories and business closures, wild animals around the world have been wandering into areas they’d normally never go. Goats have been seen wandering the streets of Llandudno, Wales, and videos show hordes of macaques running through a temple in Lopburi, Thailand. (Some of the viral posts about swans and dolphins returning to the canals of Venice have since been debunked, though — sorry.)
Have you spotted deer trotting down your street, or porcupines hanging out in public parks? Are turkeys taking over your neighborhood? Send your photos and/or videos of wild animals you spotted in unusual places to [email protected], along with a short description of when and where they were taken, and they may be featured in an upcoming Boston.com article.
